Seen beside linen, the botanical loses nostalgia and gains grit. The soft blue ground reads as colour rather than wallpaper, and the deep green leaves anchor the whole thing.

A neutral room with linen sofas, oak floors and cream walls picks up energy without losing its calm. The coral flowers and lemon-yellow fruit do the heavy lifting.

Hangs well above a sideboard in a dining room, over a console in a hallway, or on a chimney breast in a quiet sitting room. Landscape format suits low, wide furniture.

Pairs with linen, oak, brass and stoneware. Looks particularly good against painted panelling in soft white or chalky green.

Don’t overpower it with other strong pattern in the same room give it space to be the talking point. As a canvas, the matte surface softens the pattern and keeps it from looking too formal.
