Test it this way: if the living room feels safe, size up. A wall of dense wildflowers in deep pink, coral, orange and mustard will fix that quickly. It gives a quiet room a colour anchor, so the sofa, cushions and rug suddenly look chosen rather than accidental. Hang it above a sofa or a low sideboard, centred and dropped fairly close to the furniture so the flowers read as a single block of colour. Pair it with warm wood, cane, cream linen and one or two stoneware pieces in a plain glaze. Don’t crowd it with other busy florals or heavy pattern on the same wall this piece wants space either side to do its job. As a canvas the colour looks softer and slightly deeper, with no glazing to catch the light.
