Once the bright orange enters, the whole room stops apologising. A painterly still life of cowboy boots stuffed with peonies, set against a soft blue sky, this one brings energy without tipping into chaos. Hang it where the room currently sits quiet a hallway that gets walked past, the wall above a console, a small kitchen that needs lifting. The colour does the heavy work, so the rest of the room can stay calm. Pale oak, painted timber, cream linen and a stoneware jug or two are all it really needs. Don’t crowd it with other busy florals or anything overly literal give it space and let the boots be the joke. Stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang straight from the box.
