For a living room full of curves, this still life brings the check. Henri Rousseau painted it in 1910, and the bouquet still does the heavy lifting pink peonies, white daisies, striped tulips and a spray of yellow mimosa, all standing tall against a deep green curtain. Hang it where you already have soft furniture and warm wood, and the room gets a focal point without anyone shouting. Above a sideboard, a console or the head of a bed works best. Pair it with linen, oak, brass and a bit of terracotta anything chalky and natural. Skip the busy gallery wall around it; this one prefers a quiet stretch of wall and a single companion at most. Stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang.
