Not because it’s deep blue-green, but because it refuses to fade back. The bee sits dead centre on a pale blossom, surrounded by Morris-style leaves and pink buds quiet at a glance, but it holds the wall.

Put it up and the room reads more considered. The pattern gives a flat wall something to read; the bee gives the eye somewhere to land. Old furniture looks less tired next to it.

Works best on a hallway wall, in a study, or above a bedroom chest of drawers. Eye-level. Don’t bury it behind a lamp.

Pair with oak or walnut, linen upholstery, brass fittings and a bit of stoneware. Chalky off-white or deep green walls both suit it.

The canvas weave softens the typography and makes the foliage feel more like a textile than a poster.
