For a living room full of curves, this still life brings the check. The spotted vase and loose brushwork do the heavy lifting — the room just needs to step back and let it work.

Put it up and the wall stops being quiet. The mustard, orange and pink lift a beige sofa, and the dark green pulls the room together so it doesn't feel like a colour swatch exploded.

Hang it above a sideboard, a console, or a reading chair. Eye level works best — this is a piece you want to look at properly, not glance past.

It sits well with oak and walnut, bouclé, linen, brass fittings and warm cream walls. Stoneware vases and a few trailing plants finish the look.

Don't crowd it with other busy florals. One bold piece, breathing room around it. Stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang.
