Back in the 1960s, this kind of still life belonged to another kind of home one with painted shutters, hand-thrown pots and a kitchen that wasn’t afraid of colour. A green folk horse looks over a jug of white daisies and yellow blooms, set against a deep red wall and a blue patterned cloth. Hang it where you want a room to wake up: a kitchen above the worktop, a dining nook, an entryway with a painted console. It does the heavy lifting on plain plaster or warm white walls, and lifts a quieter scheme of cream linen, cane and terracotta. Keep nearby art simple a small landscape or a single botanical so this piece can lead the room.
