By lunchtime, the still life stops looking decorative and starts working. The colours travel pink wall, deep greens, a flash of red and yellow and suddenly the room has a holiday on it. It brings warmth without shouting and feels like the wall has a window onto a slower afternoon. Hang it in a kitchen, a small dining nook, or an entryway that needs lifting. Looks great above a sideboard, a console with a fruit bowl, or a narrow run of wall between cupboards. Works with pale oak, rattan, linen and stoneware in cream or terracotta. Skip pairing it with anything cold or corporate sleek black gloss or chrome will fight it. Stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang.
