There’s a reason illustrators kept returning to the flamingo; rooms still respond. This one is drawn in flat blocks of coral, deep red, dark green and navy on a warm sand background, so it reads clearly from across a room. Put it up and a quiet corner suddenly has a focal point and a bit of humour. It works above a sideboard, on a kitchen wall, or at the end of a hallway where you need something to walk towards. Pair it with pale wood, painted cabinetry, rattan and simple stoneware. Don’t crowd it with other loud colour pieces or fussy ornate frames; give it a plain wall and let the shapes do the talking. On paper the flat colour blocks and grainy texture stay crisp.
