‘Too safe,’ said nobody standing in front of mustard yellow. This is a loose, hand-painted pony mid-gallop, and it brings movement to a wall that has been sitting still. Put it up in a nursery or kids’ room and the whole corner warms up the mustard hills lift a pale scheme, the soft blue sky keeps it calm rather than loud, and the wobbly rust border stops it feeling too tidy. It hangs well above a cot, a low bookshelf or a changing unit. Pair it with pale wood, cream walls, knitted throws and a striped rug. Don’t crowd it with lots of small busy prints or heavy dark furniture this one wants a bit of breathing room. Stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang straight from the box.
