Open the curtains at mid-morning; the soft blue-green will handle the drama. A quiet hold falls over the room, with everything else settling a notch lower. Works in bedrooms, studies and hallways that want a calm focal point without a lot of noise. Hang it above a low chest of drawers, a writing desk or a slim console, with the centre a little above eye level so the bird reads first. Sits well with pale oak, linen and rice-paper shades, and with one or two pieces of dark stained timber to ground the lightness. Don't crowd it with another big patterned print on the same wall — this one wants room to breathe. Stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang straight from the box.
