'Too safe,' said nobody standing in front of soft pink. This is a painterly flower market scene with shoppers, striped awnings and buckets of tulips, daffodils and mixed blooms — busy in the best way. It lifts the energy of a quiet kitchen, dining room or entryway without shouting. Hang it above a sideboard, a small dining table, or on the empty wall by the kettle where you actually look every morning. Pair it with pale wood, linen, stoneware and a little brass. Skip a hot red feature wall or a heavy gilt mirror nearby — the colours here are confident enough already and want a calm backdrop.
