Bird on a Magnolia Branch by Hiroshige Art Print

Bird on a Magnolia Branch by Hiroshige Art PrintWith a bird and magnolia study, scale decides whether the bedroom wakes up. Go a touch larger than feels safe and the soft pink sky pulls warmth into the room. The bird settles the eye; the dark green leaves give it weight against pale walls. Hang it above a low headboard, a slim console or a writing desk where you'll catch it from a chair. It sits happily next to linen, pale oak, woven baskets and stoneware in clay tones. Avoid crowding it with other

off-white walls and a touch of warm brown — rattan

a home bar nook

gatherings and coming-in-from-the-cold already happen

a mustard cushion or two and a soft sage rug

Portrait shape suits the gap between two cupboards or a narrow stretch beside a window

off-white and black turns a quiet wall into the bit you actually look at

Loves lamplight more than overhead glare

and ceramics in cream or sky blue

very ripe fruit with a calm strip of Japanese type

cool blue-grey schemes

the bay sits still

The soft pastel colors effortlessly blend with various decor styles
