Rooms go quieter when black is this sure of itself. One long curve, two flat blocks, and a warm sand background doing all the heavy lifting. Hung up, it gives a calm room a proper focal point without adding clutter or colour. It suits a living room wall above a low sofa, a study behind a desk, or the far end of a hallway where the eye needs somewhere to land. Pair it with boucl or linen seating, pale wood, stoneware and a plaster or off-white wall. Don’t crowd it with busy patterns, small photo frames or another strong graphic piece on the same wall the empty space around it is part of the effect. As a canvas the surface reads like a painted panel, which suits the flat blocks of colour.
