Pop Sneakers on Orange Canvas Print

Pop Sneakers on Orange Canvas PrintBy evening, the trainers stop looking decorative and start working. The orange holds the wall, the laces lead the eye down, and the room suddenly has a focal point that doesn't need explaining. It changes a flat neutral wall into something with a pulse without adding clutter, pattern or extra colour. Hang it above a desk, a bed, a hallway console or in a creative studio where you want one loud thing on the wall. Keep the rest of the room calm: pale

It also holds its own on a study wall above a desk

Skip it if your kitchen is already loud with patterned tiles or busy splashbacks — it wants a calm backdrop to do its thing

Don't crowd it with other busy pieces or floral chintz — this print wants negative space around it to let the rhythm breathe

painterly jungle of brown-trunked trees and small leafy shrubs — warm

and stoneware in soft pinks and greens

drawn with a grainy screen-printed feel in sky blue

the deep pink doesn't soften the room

without shouting

It earns its keep above a console in a hallway

Plenty of clear wall around it works best

Skip florals and pastel botanicals nearby

The room reads warmer the moment this goes up — green and pink stop competing and start working as a pair
