Two Egrets in a Bright Garden Canvas PrintTest it this way: if the living room feels safe, size up. This is a piece that does the heavy lifting in a quiet room once it's up, the wall stops being background and starts pulling the eye. Cobalt blue, hot orange and pink against soft greens give a tired corner real energy without redecorating around it. Hang it where you sit and look across above a sofa, behind a reading chair, or on the wall opposite a window so daylight catches the brushwork.

The colour block composition does most of the styling work for you

Pairs with oak or walnut timber

A bouclé chair

The red pulls the whole room warmer

Put it up and the room turns playful without turning into a Halloween display

deep walls

saddle blankets

It sits well with pale oak cabinets

a woven rug and warm lamplight
