Not because it’s navy, but because it refuses to fade back. Hang it and a flat, safe wall suddenly has a focal point the deep blue flower reads almost solid from the doorway, while the fine pink lines only show up when you stand close. It earns its keep above a sideboard, a bed, or on that awkward tall wall by the stairs. Keep the company simple: warm wood, cane, blush or oatmeal linen, a couple of stoneware pots. Avoid stacking it next to busy florals or patterned wallpaper two loud botanicals in one eyeline and neither wins. As a canvas it hangs frameless and flush, which suits the flat blocks of colour.
