Rooms go quieter when olive green is this sure of itself. Two workers bend to the soil under tall pines, in deep blue, warm brown and a sky that has more grey-green than blue.

What changes when it goes up: the room slows down. The wall stops feeling flat and starts feeling worked-on. Plain walls pick up colour without anything else having to try.

Where to hang it: above a writing desk, in a study, in a hallway with a runner, or above a low sideboard in a living room. Eye-level or just above. Daylight helps the green; lamps in the evening bring the browns forward.

Pair it with oak or walnut, linen, stoneware, brass fittings and rush matting. Plaster or chalky off-white walls give it room to breathe.

The woven texture softens the brushwork and gives the scene a quiet, lived-in feel.
