On a warm afternoon, the green looks almost illegally fresh. That is what this piece does to a room: it brings the garden indoors without turning the walls into a flower shop. The white hydrangea heads read as light, so a heavy sofa or a dark-painted wall feels less solid the moment it goes up. Hang it above a sofa, a bed or a low sideboard, roughly at eye level, and let it run wide. It sits happily with linen, pale wood, rattan and plain stoneware. Keep the surrounding surfaces calm skip busy patterned cushions or a crowd of small frames nearby, which flatten the soft edges. As a canvas, it is stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang straight from the box.
