We like storybook scenes best when they come with a little abrasion. The hills here are washed in soft pink and coral, dotted with deep red and warm brown brush marks, while a tiny figure in a mustard jumper holds the centre it stops a room from feeling too sweet. Hung above a cot, a low bookshelf or a child’s reading chair, it pulls the eye to a single quiet moment and softens hard modern lines. Pair with pale oak, cream linen, a soft wool rug and one warm metal tone. Skip it next to loud primary-colour prints or anything too busy this one wants room to breathe.
