Try it above the writing desk; the loose brushwork will do the editing. The room feels a shade quieter with this up — the warm greys pull the whole scheme down to a slower pace. Hang it low over a desk, console or the head of the bed, where you'll catch it at a glance. It sits beautifully with linen, oak, aged leather and chalky off-white walls, and lifts a room lit by soft daylight. Avoid pairing it with hard graphic prints, saturated brights or busy patterned wallpaper — it wants breathing room and quiet company. The canvas edge gives it a soft, painterly presence on the wall.
