Too much beige. Not enough warm orange. This fixes that. A folk-style phoenix lifts off a soft cream background with wings spread, flames around it and the word FLARE above its head.

The room warms up. A neutral nursery or kids’ room stops feeling empty and starts feeling like somewhere a small person actually lives. The orange does the talking, and the cream keeps it gentle.

It hangs well above a cot, a changing table or a low bookshelf, at child eye level rather than adult. Works equally well as a solo piece on a quiet wall.

Pair it with pale oak, cream linen, rattan baskets, soft wool rugs and stoneware in warm sandy tones.

Don’t crowd it with other busy character prints let this one be the loud one, with the wrapped canvas softening any hard edges around it.
