Open the curtains at mid-morning; the bright pink will handle the drama. The room does not need much else after that one wall of big painted peonies gives you colour, movement and a focal point in one go. It suits a bedroom above a low chest of drawers, a hallway where you walk past it every day, or a dining wall that feels flat between meals. Keep the furnishings quiet: off-white or pale pink walls, linen or velvet seating, painted wood, a little brass. Cream ceramics and clear glass let the pink stay loudest. What not to do: crowd it with strong floral wallpaper or busy patterned curtains, and skip a second bold colour on the same wall. Printed on premium fine-art paper, with framing in real wood if you want a tidier edge.
