Some bird prints match a room. This one resets its pecking order. A soft green crane, pink peonies and fine gold linework give a quiet wall something to organise itself around. Hang it above a bed, a sideboard or in a hallway where people pass close enough to notice the small blossoms and seed heads. Pair it with velvet or linen in blush and sage, cane or dark wood furniture, brass handles and plain stoneware. Keep the wall around it calm, and skip busy patterned wallpaper or a crowd of competing florals nearby, since the piece already carries plenty of pattern of its own. As a canvas the flat background reads almost like panelled wallpaper, which suits the decorative subject.
