At dusk, the stormy seascape turns from nice idea to main character. The wall stops being background and starts holding the room together. The warm grey sky lifts the darker corners of a study or living room, while the heavy browns along the bottom edge anchor everything below it a low sofa, a desk, a sideboard. Hang it at eye level on a plain painted wall, or slightly low above a long piece of furniture so the horizon sits just above the surface. Pair it with aged leather, dark wood, wool throws and stoneware in muted tones. Keep bright colour and busy pattern away from it; the drama only reads if the wall around it stays quiet. Printed on premium fine-art paper, with the option of a real wood frame.
