Before anyone mentions chinoiserie, notice what the soft pink does to plaster. On a chalky wall it stops looking like a picture and starts looking like the wall was always meant to be that colour. The teal peacock gives the room one clear point of focus, and the gold flecks pick up lamplight after dark. Hang it in a bedroom above the bed, in a dining room on a feature wall, or at the far end of a hallway where the vertical shape does the most work. Pair it with velvet, painted wood, brass fittings and a patterned rug. Don’t crowd it with other florals or bright modern graphics it needs a little quiet wall around it. As a canvas it sits flush to the wall with a soft, painterly edge.
