Put bluntly, your living room can carry more orange than it thinks. This is a soft pastel landscape of a wildflower meadow opening onto a calm lake, with a tall tree on the left and a wide sky of clouds above.

Hang it up and the room slows down. The orange flowers warm a quiet wall, the soft greens and blues keep things calm, and the sky gives the eye somewhere to rest. A cool grey room feels less clinical; a beige room finds a focal point.

It works above a sofa, a low sideboard or a bed, and it suits a hallway that needs a touch of life. Give it a clear wall it likes a bit of space around it.

Pair it with linen sofas, pale oak, woven baskets, a few green plants and warm ceramics. Brushed brass reads well too.

Don’t crowd it with other busy florals or bright graphic prints. It’s the talker in the room. Stretched canvas, ready to hang straight from the box.
