Hang this where the warm afternoon light hits and the bright orange sharpens. It gives a cool, quiet room a heat source, and it works even harder on a grey day. Up on the wall, it pulls the eye across the room and makes off-white paint look warmer than it is. Best above a sofa, a sideboard or a low bench, at a size wide enough to hold the wall on its own. Pair it with pale wood, off-white linen, grey upholstery and simple stoneware. Keep the wall around it clear busy patterned wallpaper, other strong reds or a crowd of small pictures will fight it. As a canvas, the brushy texture reads as a painting from across the room.
