Ivy by Kamisaka Sekka Art Print

Ivy by Kamisaka Sekka Art PrintA living room this pared back can take one serious red. Sekka's autumn ivy brings warm gold, deep red and a flash of soft green across a calm cream ground, which is enough to anchor a quiet room without crowding it. Hang it above a low sideboard, a console or a reading bench, where the open right hand side has room to breathe. It pairs naturally with oak or walnut timber, linen upholstery, brass fittings and stoneware in clay tones. Skip busy gallery

The canvas wrap gives the illustration a soft

Skip pale Scandi minimalism and cool grey schemes — they fight the warmth instead of holding it

late-career brushwork gives a room something to look at — a pale horse mid-step

or in a sunlit dining nook where the warm terracotta tones can echo timber and clay

and a dining room with quiet walls gets a jolt of colour without going chaotic

terracotta rooftops and pink bougainvillea pull the room towards holiday mode without tipping into theme-park

the brushwork keeps its oil-painted feel on canvas

very minimal kitchens where the orange will feel too loud

but the typography gives it purpose — a small reminder rather than a slogan

paws stretched towards a pink feather toy

the watercolour washes get a softer

and stoneware in warm tones
