Most figurative prints behave. This one picks a side. Klimt’s Water Serpents II is unapologetically romantic entwined figures, rivers of gold hair, and a thousand tiny flowers piled like jewellery on a warm, decorative ground.

Put it up and the room softens. The deep gold and warm browns pull the eye, and the small bursts of pink, lilac and yellow stop the wall feeling heavy. Suddenly a quiet bedroom or dressing area has a centre of gravity.

It works best above a bed, a low chest or a dressing table, hung at eye level so the faces sit just above the furniture line. Give it a bit of breathing room on either side.

Pair it with velvet, brushed brass, warm wood and soft linens. Lamplight loves it the gold tones glow.

Don’t crowd it with other busy patterns. Let this one do the talking. Stretched on a wooden frame and ready to hang straight out of the box.
