Too much beige. Not enough deep green. This fixes that. A warm beige background keeps the whole thing grounded, then the parrot’s red head, coral tail and dark green leaves do the talking. Hung up, a flat neutral wall suddenly has a focal point and a bit of colour discipline everything else in the room reads as deliberate rather than undecided. It works above a bed, a sideboard or on a hallway wall where you pass it daily. Pair it with linen or velvet, dark wood, cane, brass handles and blush ceramics. Don’t crowd it with other florals or busy patterned wallpaper; give it a plain wall and let the gold line do its job. As a canvas the surface softens the background and the colour sits gently on the wall.
