Nude with Oranges by Matisse Art Print

Nude with Oranges by Matisse Art PrintWhen the living room feels over arranged, this kind of figure study helps. The loose black line and bright orange and green cut paper shapes loosen up a tidy room without throwing it off balance. Hang it where a wall has gone flat above a low sideboard, beside a reading chair, or on a chalky off white wall in a hallway and the whole corner reads more relaxed. It sits happily with linen sofas, pale oak, rattan and stoneware in cream and clay. Avoid

Skip pastel nurseries and very modern minimalist schemes — the red bus is loud and proud

with a copper-pink stone at its centre

This fried eggs poster brings a warm pop of colour to a room that usually sits in whites

or in a hallway that needs a moment

the flower stops looking decorative and starts working

The colours do the heavy lifting

your kitchen can carry more pink than it thinks

or in a stairwell where you want a single clean note

It belongs above a coffee station

Hang it up and the room loosens

The room gets a jolt of colour without losing its calm

capturing a coastal theme with abstract forms
