Give the feature wall one hard decision, and let everything else relax. Plate 29 by Ogino Issui is a calm Japanese botanical study in soft olive green with cream vines, a small moth and a hint of dusty pink. It pulls a room down half a notch — the wall stops shouting and the furniture starts to read. Best above a low console, a writing desk or at the head of a bed, in a room with warm timber and natural fabrics. Hang at eye level on a chalky off-white or warm plaster wall. Pairs well with oak, linen, stoneware and a single low lamp. Don't crowd it with bold colour or busy pattern. The stretched canvas adds a soft, painterly edge that suits the brushwork.
