The Reader Beneath the Leaves Art Print

The Reader Beneath the Leaves Art PrintAt late afternoon, the reading nook turns from nice idea to main character. A girl lies back with her book held up to the light, surrounded by stacked hardbacks and a soft fall of leaves. It is quiet, warm and unhurried. Put it up and the room slows down. The sage greens and mustard yellows pull together with the warm cream background, making the wall feel softer and the whole corner feel like somewhere you actually want to sit. It reads as cosy

one strong word

character and a bit of humour in one piece

Best on a hallway wall

somewhere you can take it in at standing height

or sit it against a pastel scheme that softens its edges

at the end of a bright hallway — and the sky-blue background does the rest

or on a short kitchen wall near the kettle

A quiet corner gets a centre of gravity

The room gets a confident anchor without going dark or heavy

soft blue and warm cream across the wall and bring a quiet room straight to life

Greens deepen the edges

earthy tones and intricate floral background
