Back in the 1920s, this pair of crossed wooden rackets belonged to another kind of home — country clubs, garden parties and sunlit verandas. It carries that same gentle, nostalgic mood into a modern room. Hang it in a bedroom, a kids' room or a study to add a touch of playful character without shouting. The cream background and soft pink striped border keep things calm, while the warm tan rackets give the wall a bit of warmth. It sits well with rattan, cane and pale wood, linen bedding and ticking stripes. Avoid pairing it with anything too modern or graphic — heavy black frames or sharp neon colours will fight the soft, lived-in feel of the piece.
