What’s the study missing? Warm brown with some nerve. This is a working room caught mid-thought a painter, his palette, a half-covered canvas and a table strewn with tubes and rags. Put it up and the room stops feeling like storage and starts feeling occupied. It sits well above a desk, a low bookcase or a sideboard, and it holds a hallway wall where people pass close to it. Pair it with aged leather, dark wood, linen and a couple of stoneware pieces. Keep the wall around it fairly plain busy patterned wallpaper or a crowd of bright graphic posters will fight the loose brushwork. As a canvas the brushy surface reads more like the original painting.
