Put bluntly, your living room can carry more teal blue than it thinks. This is a tall, detailed piece in the Japanese woodblock tradition, and it does the work of a focal point without shouting. Hang it and the room gets a clear centre: the warm cream background keeps things soft, while the blue and teal pull out any blue or green you already own. It works above a sofa, a sideboard or a desk, and it holds a narrow wall between windows well. Pair it with dark wood, linen, stoneware and one or two plants. Don’t crowd it with other busy patterns give it a calm wall and let the detail breathe. On fine-art paper the fine linework and feather detail stay crisp.
