Herons in the Reeds by William Morris Canvas Print

Herons in the Reeds by William Morris Canvas PrintOnce the deep green enters, the whole room stops apologising. This is a William Morris inspired pattern of herons among wheat, sunflowers and curling foliage, drawn in the Arts and Crafts tradition. It adds depth without weight. A quiet wall picks up real character the gold catches lamplight in the evening, and the green holds the room together at any time of day. Hang it in a hallway, a study or a dining room. It does its best work on a wall that's

pantry or breakfast nook and the room gains a quiet bit of structure — softer than a poster

The room loosens up the moment this goes on the wall — playful but not loud

then the soft beige start doing damage

making it effortless to refresh your living room

peaches and creams pull warmth into pale walls without going sugary

The deep blue cone and the warm orange ridges do the heavy lifting

It works best above a writing desk

with a gentle matte finish that suits the sketch

and the cream lilies stop the whole thing from feeling heavy

modern room

and pale linen and cream ceramics suddenly have something to lean against

the swim turns from nice idea to main character
