Unlike most botanical art, this doesn’t wait for approval. A Tree of Life in soft pink, dusty blue and sage hangs at the centre, ringed by a curling floral border and the words ‘William Morris Cotton Print Exhibition’ in clean type. Hang it in a hallway, a study or a quiet sitting room and the walls stop feeling polite. The colours are warm enough for plaster and old timber, but the pattern keeps things alert. Works above a console, a writing desk, or in the gap between two doorways where a room usually gives up. Pair with linen, oak, brass and a vintage rug. Don’t crowd it with other busy botanicals one Morris on a wall is the point. On stretched canvas, the embroidery-style border picks up a soft, woven feel that suits older rooms.
