Hang above low furniture for balance
Waterfront scenes with strong horizontal lines benefit from placement above low-profile pieces like sofas or sideboards. Position the centre of your artwork at eye level when seated to create a calm, anchored feeling in the room. This works particularly well with White house with sunset, where the reflective water emphasizes the horizontal composition.

Pair earthy tones with warm accents
The taupe, beige, and olive green tones create a grounded, natural palette that works beautifully with warm wood finishes and terracotta accessories. Try pairing these earthy shades with brass or copper details to enhance the nostalgic warmth. A good example is Oudehaven with fog, where the soft sage and brown hues complement natural materials.

Choose portrait or landscape for impact
Both portrait and landscape formats are popular choices for Old Port artworks, giving you flexibility to match your wall space. Portrait orientation suits narrow walls and hallways, while landscape works well above wider furniture. Choose the format that fits your available space and complements your room layout.
