Try it above the sideboard; the rolling horizontal waves will do the editing. The room reads calmer straight away — the coral and mustard bring warmth, and the pale sage sky settles everything down. Hang it in a living room, study or games room where you want a bit of retro character without going full colour bomb. It sits well with warm woods, tan leather, linen and brass. Keep the wall around it fairly quiet — chalky off-white, pale sage, or a soft warm plaster tone. Avoid stacking it against loud stripes, tartan or busy florals; the composition already brings the pattern, so give it room to breathe.
