Give the bedroom wall one hard decision, and let everything else relax. This is the bold floral that does the heavy lifting, leaving the bed, the chair and the lamp free to be quiet. The pink background takes the edge off the deep greens, so the wall feels lively but not loud. Hang it above a bed, a low chest of drawers or a reading chair, where there's enough clear wall around it to breathe. It works with pale oak, linen and brass, and sits happily next to soft pinks, sage and warm whites in the rest of the room. Don't crowd it with other busy patterns — curtains, bedding and rugs should stay calm so the painting can be the thing you look at. On canvas the soft pink ground reads slightly warmer, giving the whole wall a painted, hand-made feel.
