Cranes and Blossom in Deep Green Canvas Print

Open the curtains at 4pm; the dark green will handle the drama. This is the piece that gives a quiet room a proper back wall. Put it up and the room gains depth rather than clutter, because the deep green ground reads almost like a painted panel while the cream cranes and pale blossom keep the eye moving. Hang it centred above a sideboard, a low bench or a headboard, and let there be plenty of empty wall around it. Pair it with dark wood, velvet, linen and brass or antique gold fittings, plus a lamp low down so the gold speckling catches. Skip busy patterned wallpaper behind it and avoid crowding it with small pictures either side. As a canvas the green ground goes soft and mural-like across a big wall.
