Hangs best at eye level in a living room, study or hallway somewhere people slow down and notice it. Works above a low sideboard or reading chair, and holds its own on a narrow wall between doorways.

Pair with oak or warm timber, linen upholstery, stoneware in earth tones, and a brass lamp or two. A small trailing plant nearby earns its keep.

Don’t crowd it with other busy florals or another bold character print it wants room to land. Stretched over a wooden frame, ready to hang straight from the box.
