A living room this pared back can take one serious gold. The print opens up a quiet wall with symmetrical Deco line work and a clean black ground — confident without becoming a theme. Hang it as the main thing on the wall, above a sideboard or behind a long sofa, somewhere with a bit of room to breathe. It plays well with velvet, dark wood, brass and marble; less so with rustic timber and country florals. Don't crowd it with other patterned pieces — let the lines do the work. The canvas reads softer up close than a glazed print.
