Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh Canvas Print

Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh Canvas PrintStart with the orange marigolds; they'll wake every piece of oak around it. This is a travel poster take on Edinburgh's Royal Botanic Garden a sunlit path threading through palms, ferns and bright flowers, painted with loose, confident brushwork. Hung in a hallway or by the kitchen, the room stops feeling beige and starts feeling like somewhere. The path pulls the eye in, so it earns its keep on a wall you walk past every day. Sit it above a console,

Hang it and a quiet wall picks up a little movement and a little sunshine without tipping into busy

Plaster or chalky off-white walls flatter the palette without competing

especially where a window already brings in some daylight

or on a bright entryway wall where it gets natural light

It sits best in bedrooms

on a snug living room wall

with calm furniture and plain textiles around it

Cream sofas

and ceramics in earthy clay tones

the rust-red checks and chestnut leathers warm everything else in the room

timber looks richer

sky blue and cream into the room
