Peacock by the Willow River Art Print

'Too safe,' said nobody standing in front of soft gold. The peacock, the willow and the misty river do the work here, and the warm gold background carries them across the whole wall. Hung up, a flat pale wall stops feeling blank and starts feeling like a room with a view. It suits a bedroom above the headboard, a dining room wall, or a sideboard in a hallway where people slow down. Pair it with linen or velvet upholstery, mid-toned timber, brass fittings and simple stoneware. Skip busy floral curtains and patterned rugs right beside it — the scene already has its own pattern, and it needs quiet surfaces around it to read properly. On paper the misty background keeps its softness.
