Not because it’s dark green, but because it refuses to fade back. The pitch sits right in the middle of all that loose, washed-out grey and it holds your eye from across the room. Put it up and a plain wall suddenly has a story on it a real place, seen from above, with the running track, the roof trusses and the canals around Stratford all sketched in. It works over a desk, along a hallway, or in an alcove that never quite got sorted. Pair it with pale wood, off-white paint and one or two personal bits on a shelf. Don’t crowd it with busy patterned wallpaper or a row of loud colour prints it needs a bit of quiet either side. Printed on premium fine-art paper, with real wood framing available.
