Put bluntly, your living room can carry more deep red than it thinks. This heron is painted in loose, confident strokes, with red spotted leaves, blue water and pink blooms crowding in around it. Hang it and the room stops being polite. Flat walls suddenly have a focal point, and the greens and blues in your cushions and rugs start to look deliberate rather than accidental. It works above a sofa, on a hallway wall, or as the one loud thing in a calm dining room. Pair it with cane, painted wood, glazed ceramics and plain off-white walls. Don’t crowd it with other busy patterns give it clear wall and let the colour do the talking. As stretched canvas it reads even more like a painted original.
