Open the curtains at evening; the soft grey will handle the drama. The room goes quieter straight away the cloudy washes take the edge off hard white walls and give a bedroom or nursery something restful to settle on. Hang it above a chest of drawers, a cot, or on the narrow wall beside a bed, where the vertical shape has room to breathe. Pair it with linen bedding, pale wood, a grey wool rug and one warm lamp so the greys stay soft rather than cold. Don’t crowd it with bright primary colours or busy patterned wallpaper; this one needs a bit of calm around it. As a canvas the washes read as one soft, matt surface with no reflections.
