On a warm afternoon, the deep teal looks almost illegally fresh. Against a background of aged gold, that single band of blue-green does the work of a whole accent colour in your room. Put it up and the space feels warmer and slower straight away the gold picks up lamplight, and the fine feather detail rewards a second look as you walk past. Best above a sofa, a sideboard or a bed, where you have a clear stretch of wall and nothing crowding the edges. Pair it with linen, dark wood, cane and stoneware in soft greens and browns. Don’t hang it beside busy pattern or bright modern graphics they flatten the detail and cheapen the gold. On fine-art paper the feather texture and soft background stay crisp.
