Against plaster, the deep teal reads less sweet, more deliberate. The flowers are coral, peach and cream, laid on in thick strokes, and they sit against a green-blue background that keeps the whole thing grown-up rather than pretty. Put it up and a plain wall stops being background: the warm flower tones pull out anything rust, camel or terracotta in the room, while the dark green leaves quietly agree with your plants. It wants a wide wall above a three-seater sofa, a sideboard in the dining room, or a long stretch of hallway where you walk past it side-on. Pair it with soft upholstery, dark wood and simple stoneware. Don’t crowd it with other florals or busy pattern; give it one clear wall and let the texture do the talking. As a canvas it reads like a painted panel, with no glazing between you and the texture.
