Chair Marks in Mustard and Black Canvas Print

Open the curtains at mid-morning; the mustard yellow will handle the drama. This is a room-waker: thick black brushmarks, deep red lines and a warm brown block that pull all the loose energy in a space into one place. Hang it on a plain off-white or pale grey wall where nothing else is competing, above a low sideboard, a bench in the entryway or behind a reading chair. It sits happily with leather, dark timber, black metal legs and simple stoneware. Keep the surrounding shelf styling sparse and skip busy patterned wallpaper or a second big colourful piece on the same wall — this one needs the room to itself. As a canvas the surface reads more like a painting on the wall.
