Patchwork Textile Study in Teal and Pink Art Print

Patchwork Textile Study in Teal and Pink Art PrintWhat it adds isn't clutter. It's loose, hand painted tension in the right places. Stripes, dots and zigzags sit side by side in teal, soft pink, mustard and cream, with a painted tassel edge along the top that nods to woven textiles. Hung up, a flat wall stops being a flat wall. Colour, texture and a bit of personality turn up without the room getting busy. Best above a low sofa, a kid's bed, a console in a hallway, or as a happy break on a kitchen

the gold splashes carry real texture and the misty greys feel like brushwork on a wall

and any tired corner near the front door starts to feel like the start of a walk rather than the end of one

Even the plaster in here starts looking expensive next to soft cream

Hang it on a calm wall and the room stops feeling polite and starts feeling considered

The wall stops feeling polite and starts feeling fun

A scatter of western motifs — boots

linen and blue-and-white china

tan leather and bouclé in cream or oat — quiet furnishings let the print do the talking

or along a galley kitchen where you need something to look at

with her crown of pink roses

The colour palette opens the space rather than crowds it

Hang it where a wall has gone quiet — above a small bedroom dresser
