Too much beige. Not enough bright pink. This fixes that. One thistle head, cut sharp against a soft blue-grey sky, and suddenly a quiet wall has a point of view. The pink lifts the whole room, while the dark green and mustard leaves keep it grounded rather than sweet. Hang it in a kitchen above the counter, on a hallway wall where you pass it daily, or in a study behind the desk. It sits well with painted cabinetry, dark wood, linen and stoneware. Don’t bury it in a busy patterned wallpaper or crowd it with other strong florals this one wants a plain wall and a bit of breathing room. As a canvas the flat blocks of colour read boldly from across the room.
