'Too safe,' said nobody standing in front of a bright red tree. A loose, painterly garden scene with a red-orange tree front and centre, surrounded by soft pink, deep green and mustard yellow shrubs under a pale blue sky. It brings warmth and a lift of colour to a room that's leaning a little quiet — a pale linen sofa, a painted wood console, a chalky off-white wall. Hang it on a feature wall in the living room, above a bed, or in a hallway where you want a burst of energy as you walk past. Pairs well with blush velvet cushions, mustard throws, rattan and light oak. Skip it if your scheme is strictly monochrome or coolly minimal — this one wants to be seen.
