Nothing in this deep greens and gold whispers, even when the living room does. The birch trunks pull the eye upward, the marigold path leads it forward, and the whole wall takes on a lit-from-within quality. Hang it above a low sofa, a sideboard or at the end of a hallway where it can be seen straight on from a few paces back. Walnut, dark oak and aged leather sit beautifully alongside it, as do velvet upholstery in forest green or navy and warm brass lighting. Avoid cool blue-grey walls and chrome — they fight the gold. Plays well with deep painted walls, plaster, and rooms that already lean warm and lived-in.
