Open the curtains at mid-morning; the bright blue will handle the drama. A flat wall gets a single point of focus, and the rest of the room can stay quiet. The colour is strong but the drawing is fine, so it reads as considered rather than loud. Hang it above a sideboard, a low bookshelf or a desk, where the tall shape has room to breathe above furniture. Dark wood, black metal, cream ceramics and warm neutral textiles all sit comfortably underneath it. Skip busy patterned wallpaper behind it and avoid crowding it with other strong colours one blue statement per wall is enough. As a canvas the flat blue reads soft and full-bleed, with no glazing reflections.
