Rooms go quieter when sage green is this sure of itself. A painterly record-shop scene with shoppers leafing through sleeves, set against a soft green wall lined with squares of muted red, mustard, navy and dusty pink. The room around it gets a low hum of colour without any one shade shouting. Hang it above a sideboard, a writing desk or a low shelf where it can sit at easy eye level. It pairs well with walnut, warm woods, mustard upholstery, sage painted walls and a little brass. Avoid lining it up next to busy graphic posters or saturated florals, which will pull against its hand-painted quietness. Printed as canvas wall art, stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang.
