Give the living room wall one hard decision, and let everything else relax. This is the decision: three dogs in a soft mint roundel, edged with peach blooms and trailing leaves. The wall does the work; the sofa, the rug and the lamp can all settle down. Hang it where you sit in the evening above a low sideboard, a console, or centred over a calm sofa. Pale oak, rattan and linen love it. Cream ceramics and brass handles look right next to it. Don’t crowd it with other busy pattern, and skip anything in hot reds or harsh black this piece wants room to breathe. Stretched canvas on a wooden frame, ready to hang.
