Lavender Ghost in Bloom Canvas Print

Lavender Ghost in Bloom Canvas PrintBy late afternoon, the loose brushwork stops looking decorative and starts working. The pale lavender mist softens a corner of the room you usually walk past, and the little ghost gives the wall a quiet sense of humour without tipping into kitsch. Hang it above a bed, a small reading chair or a child's dresser, somewhere it can be looked at slowly. It sits beautifully on warm white, soft lilac or pale grey walls, and pairs with linen bedding, pale

rattan and a touch of brass — anything matte and tactile

Cream plaster walls suit it

a little leather

Don't crowd it with other busy patterns — a single quieter print nearby is plenty

Put it on the wall and the room gets a focal point that does the heavy lifting

The colour blocks do the heavy lifting — mustard

A few houseplants suit the autumn palette

Framed in a warm wood or oak edge it reads holiday-house
