Because the artist knew restraint, the deep blue hits harder here. The whitewashed walls do most of the work, and then those domes pull the eye straight across the room. Hang it and the wall feels lighter, holiday-fresh, a little cooler. The colour palette opens the space rather than crowds it. Best on a bright wall above a sofa, a console in the hallway, or a sideboard in the dining room where natural light can bounce off the white. Pairs cleanly with pale linen, oak, rattan and white ceramics. Avoid hanging it next to anything heavy, dark or fussy the calm is the point.
