Three things it does fast: ground sage green, sharpen plaster, wake bedroom. The colour sits low and steady, so a room that felt a bit flat suddenly has a soft centre to look at. The thick folds catch side-light through the day, which keeps it interesting without asking for attention. Hang it above a bed, a low sideboard or a chest of drawers, at eye level in a square gap between windows. Pair it with linen, pale wood, cream plaster walls and one or two stoneware pieces. Skip busy patterned wallpaper behind it, and don’t crowd it with sharp black-and-white graphics the soft edges lose their calm next to hard lines. On canvas the ridged texture feels closer to the original painting.
