Woman with a Fan by Modigliani Art Print

Woman with a Fan by Modigliani Art Print'Too safe,' said nobody standing in front of deep red. This Modigliani portrait gives a quiet room a centre of gravity warm mustard, cream and a strong red backdrop that pulls the eye the moment you walk in. Hang it above a sideboard, a writing desk or a low sofa where it has space to breathe. It sits well with linen, velvet, dark stained wood and brass, and softens the harder edges of a modern room. Avoid stacking it against busy florals, competing

on a narrow stretch of wall between cabinets

Eye-level above a chest of drawers or vanity works best

and the deep green leaves anchor the whole thing

over open shelving with vintage glassware

Don't crowd it with busy patterned wallpaper or a wall of pastel prints — the words need a bit of breathing room

climbing roses and a watchful black cat give a hallway or kitchen a softer

One quiet piece nearby is fine

the room finds a centre

Looks especially clean behind glazing in a slim frame

Put this somewhere a bit of holiday colour earns its keep: a hallway that needs lifting

human focal point

Works well above a coffee station
