Even the linen in here starts looking expensive next to deep red. Big terracotta leaves rise out of a navy striped vase on a warm beige ground, and the whole room shifts a little warmer for it. Hang it above a console in the hallway, over a reading chair, or on a quiet stretch of wall in the study where you actually want to spend time. It pairs well with warm wood, aged leather, woven rush and chalky off-white walls. Don’t bury it behind a busy gallery wall of small florals this one wants room to breathe and a steady, plainer wall around it.
