Rooms go quieter when coral pink is this sure of itself. The deep blue swallow gives that warmth something solid to sit against, so the whole wall feels considered rather than loud. Hung above a sofa, a sideboard or a bed, it does the job a big vase of flowers does in a room one spot of colour that everything else can relax around. Pair it with warm brown or walnut wood, linen or velvet seating, rattan, and simple stoneware. Skip the busy cushions directly beneath it, and don’t hang another dense floral next to it; this piece wants a bit of clear wall on either side. On fine-art paper the brush marks and the crisp white flower petals stay sharp.
