Matisse Paper Cuts in Pastels Canvas Print

Matisse Paper Cuts in Pastels Canvas PrintWe like abstract botanicals best when they come with a little abrasion. This one has it sweet pastels held in check by bold black type and a confident, almost crowded layout. A quiet wall starts to feel like a deliberate room with this above the bed, the sofa or a console in the hallway. Hang at eye level on an off white or pale plaster wall, with the type lined up to a furniture edge below. Pairs well with pale oak, cane, linen and a few blush

Skip pairing it with heavy dark wood or anything too polished — it loses its breezy edge

Don't crowd it with other busy patterns or another statement piece — let it lead

and one or two stoneware pieces with earthy glaze

The modern style and gentle colors add sophistication

or over a small console in an entryway

The wrapped canvas keeps the matte

and it carries a room without shouting

with a soft green collar and a blue backdrop

next to a coffee station or over a small dining nook

give it a sibling of similar weight

the wall over a small writing desk

walnut or dark oak
