No, the deep green doesn’t soften the room. It defines it. This Klimt sunflower stands tall against a speckled blue-green ground, with a cottage garden of pink, yellow and purple flowers at its feet. Hang it where the room already feels considered above a sideboard, a writing desk, or a reading chair. It adds height to a narrow wall and brings a quiet hit of nature to a study or living room. Pair with linen, velvet, dark wood and a few leafy plants. Skip it if your walls are already loud with pattern or saturated colour. As a stretched canvas, the painterly texture reads beautifully from across the room.
