Here's the trick: let the cherry blossom cut through all that plaster. The room stops being a polite neutral box and turns into somewhere people actually want to linger. Hang it on a quiet wall — soft white, pale grey, or chalky lilac all work. Keep the furniture below it calm: a pale oak chest, a painted bench, a cane chair. Pink linen cushions, a lilac throw, a small ceramic vase pick up the colours without competing. What not to do: don't try to balance it with another busy floral or a strong pattern on the wall opposite. This piece wants to be the loudest thing in the room. Looks especially good framed in white or pale oak to lift the soft palette.
