Nothing in this warm cream and dark brown whispers, even when the hallway does. The line work is quick and lively, so the wall stops being a corridor and starts being a place you notice. Hang it at eye level along a hall, above a low bookshelf, or on a study wall where you pass it daily. It sits happily with warm brown wood, aged leather, tweed cushions and cream painted panelling. Keep the area around it plain busy patterned wallpaper or a crowded shelf will fight the fine drawing and flatten the movement. One dark, simple edge does more for it than anything decorative. As a canvas the warm cream ground reads softer and slightly more relaxed on the wall.
