Start with the soft green; it’ll wake every linen and oak around it. This Monet garden brings dappled summer light into a quiet room, with Camille standing by a tumble of red and orange blooms and a pale house just visible behind the leaves. The colours stay gentle enough to live with every day, but the painting has real warmth and movement. Hang it above a bed, a writing desk or a low sideboard in a bedroom, study or calm living room. It sits well with linen curtains, cane chairs, stoneware lamps and chalky off-white or sage walls. Avoid pairing it with very glossy modern art or hot neon brights they fight the soft brushwork. Stretched over a wooden frame for a soft, matte canvas finish.
