At late afternoon, the peacock and peony branch turns from nice idea to main character. The pink ground warms up as the light drops, and the gold patches start to catch. Hang it above a bed, a sideboard or a dining wall and the room feels dressed rather than decorated. It carries wide, low walls well, so give it space either side and let the branch stretch. Pair it with velvet or linen seating, a painted cabinet, dark wood, aged brass and a few blush or soft green ceramics. Don’t crowd it with other florals or busy patterned art one bold pattern in the room is plenty, and this is it. Stretched over a wooden frame as a canvas, ready to hang straight from the box.
