Test it this way: if the bedroom feels safe, size up. This is a close-up nature photograph of autumn leaves in warm brown and gold, with a soft, rainy backdrop. Hung on the wall, it pulls a room a few degrees warmer the sort of piece you notice more on grey afternoons than sunny ones. Best above a bed, a reading chair or a writing desk, where the eye can settle on it without distraction. Pair with linen, wool, aged leather and oak; brass fittings and stoneware lamps suit it too. Avoid hanging it next to anything brightly coloured or high-contrast it needs a calmer neighbourhood. Stretched canvas brings a soft, matte finish that suits the moody backdrop.
