Mount Otokoyama at Hirakata by Hiroshige Canvas PrintTry it above the bed; the soft horizontal will do the editing. The mountain sits low, the river runs quietly across the middle, and the pink band of sunset keeps everything calm. The room gets a slower pace colour without noise, pattern without clutter. Hang it where you want the eye to settle, not race. Looks best on an off white or warm cream wall, with pale oak, linen, paper shades and a low side table nearby. Avoid stacking it next to anything

You need one little ghost with teeth

or in a breakfast nook where you sit with a coffee

Seven fruits tumble down the page on a quiet off-white ground

go larger and it becomes the thing your eye finds first thing in the morning

What to pair with it: oak or pine cabinetry

the room reads finished rather than staged

soft clay or muted olive all sit well behind it

busier in a good way

It's a piece kids actually want to look at

Here's the trick: let the wildflowers cut through all that linen

one bottle

It softens a sharp modern bedroom and gives a dressing area a sense of calm
