Leave the dining room wall blank if you like cautious rooms. This one glows: a single lit candle held in warm brown, cream and deep green, with a small flare of orange at the flame. Hang it where people gather in the evening above a sideboard, on a chimney breast, or on the short wall at the end of a dining table. It answers to lamplight rather than daylight, so give it a room you actually use after dark. Pair it with velvet, dark wood, brass and stoneware. Skip busy patterned wallpaper behind it, and don’t crowd it with three or four small pieces; the candle needs its own quiet stretch of wall. As a canvas, the painterly texture reads softly and the edges sit flush to the wall.
