Columbia Road Flower Market Canvas Print

Columbia Road Flower Market Canvas PrintMost flower market prints behave. This one picks a side. The shopfront is a confident pink, the shutters are sky blue, and the buckets at the front are spilling yellow, pink and white. It puts colour and good humour into the room without trying too hard. Hang it where you walk past it daily a kitchen wall, a hallway, the side of a bright living room. It lifts a plain painted wall and gives a quiet room something to talk about. Pair with pale oak,

the cobalt and turquoise plates pop without shouting

It works best in a nursery above the changing table

sitting under chunky deep-green Japanese katakana

The looping line plays against a calm cream ground

Five red dots and a black diamond shape do all the heavy lifting — a graphic

The soft sage background keeps things calm

archival colour

Three small figures pause on a quiet street

navy leaves and a dark brown background that stops the whole thing feeling polite

friendly finish

tender note

Don't try to soften it with floral chintz or cool grey schemes — the piece is the statement
