Buy an abstract botanical for the story. Keep it for the deep red. The blues and purples climb the top half, then the bottom drops into red and orange, and the whole thing is printed in visible dots like an old poster. Put it up and a flat, quiet wall suddenly has a point of view. It works above a sofa, on a study wall, or in a narrow hallway that needs a jolt. Pair it with tan leather, walnut or teak, and off-white walls that let the colour do the shouting. Don’t hang it beside fussy florals or pale watercolours they’ll look washed out next to it. As canvas it reads softer and slightly more painterly across the room.
