Flower Market by Owen Jones, 1867 Canvas Print

Flower Market by Owen Jones, 1867 Canvas PrintA hallway this pared back can take one serious deep red. Owen Jones' 1867 flower study brings warmth and pattern without taking over the room. The red blooms repeat down the page on a deep blue vine, framed by a cream ground and a museum poster layout. Hang it on a quiet wall in a cream, oat or soft white space and the colour does the lifting on its own. Pair it with oak or rattan furniture, a linen runner and a stoneware vase. Brass handles and blue

Looping circles

Works on its own and holds a wall comfortably

or over a small reading chair where you sit in good afternoon light

and the bare wall stops being the loudest thing in the room

a worn rug in faded reds or olive

or on a bedroom wall where you want something with a bit of personality

Two friends in cowboy hats and pink boots share wine on the back of a pickup

no fussy florals competing for attention

Keep the wall around it simple so the colours can sing

Don't crowd it with other busy travel posters or strong patterned tiles competing for the same eye

so narrow walls between windows or doors work well too

Don't crowd it with busy florals or bright primary colours — it needs a bit of breathing room
