Peacock and Peonies Chinoiserie Canvas Print

For a dining room full of curves, this peacock and peony painting brings the check. The faded sage green ground calms the room down while the pink flowers and blue-green tail feathers give it something to look at. Hang it above a sideboard or between two windows, where the low horizon and misty lake can spread out sideways. It sits happily with velvet seating, dark wood, cane and brass, and it flatters soft pink, green or off-white walls. Keep the wall around it fairly clear — busy patterned wallpaper or another large floral nearby will fight it for attention. As a canvas the surface reads like an old painted panel from across the room.
