Not because it’s dark green, but because it refuses to fade back. The peacock and yellow roses hold the wall the moment you walk in, even when the rest of the room is doing its quiet thing.

Put it up and the room gets a centre of gravity. The dark background gives the wall a bit of depth, and the yellow flowers throw warmth into the space without shouting.

Works best on a clear stretch of wall above a console in the hallway, behind a writing desk, or on a feature wall in the living room where it can be seen from across the room.

Pair with linen, velvet, aged leather, brass handles and oak or walnut timber. A deep green or off-white wall makes the gold and yellow lift.

Don’t crowd it with other busy florals or another statement piece. This one wants room to breathe. The canvas adds a softer, textured finish that suits older homes and lived-in rooms.
