A bedroom this pared back can take one serious soft pink. Three carnation heads sit high on tall stems, so the wall gains a little lift without gaining noise. Hang it above a chest of drawers or a bedside table, or use it to break up a long blank stretch beside a doorway. It sits happily with linen, pale timber and chalky off-white paint, and the dark green stems keep it from tipping into anything too sweet. Keep the wall around it clear this one loses its air if you crowd it with busy pattern or heavy dark frames on either side. As a canvas it reads softer still, with a matte surface and no reflections.
