Test it this way: if the study feels safe, size up. This retro illustration brings a shot of hot pink, deep navy and coral into a room, and the mood shifts from tidy to characterful in one hang. It works above a low sideboard, a games-room bar cart, a writing desk or a bedroom chest, and it holds a narrow wall in a hallway too. Style it near walnut timber, brass fittings, striped cotton or a checkerboard rug. Skip pairing it with other loud figurative pieces on the same wall — this one wants to be the talking point. The canvas edge gives it a softer, more relaxed finish.
