Rio Botanic Garden Travel Poster Canvas Print

Rio Botanic Garden Travel Poster Canvas PrintNot because it's green, but because it refuses to fade back. A tropical travel poster of Rio's Botanic Garden, with tall palms, mustard fronds and a winding sandy path, brings warmth and movement to a room. Put it up and a quiet wall starts to feel like somewhere you'd want to spend time. The deep greens hold the composition, the mustard yellow lifts it, and the soft pink path stops it feeling too jungly. Works well in a hallway that needs a wake up,

terracotta pots and pale timber

and two friends at little red tables add quiet warmth to the room

Skip it if your room is already pulling in lots of strong pattern

It works best where you want energy: above a sofa

A small lamp nearby brings the pinks up in the evening

A glossy white tile wall takes it brilliantly

Keep neighbouring walls calm — this one carries the story on its own

notice what the off-white ground does to plaster

the tartan and warm browns do the work

Don't pin it next to busy patterned wallpaper or hard primary colours — the brushwork wants room to breathe

brushed brass and chalky pastel ceramics

There's a reason Owen Jones kept returning to Chinese ornament
