Autumn Flowers by Kamisaka Sekka Canvas Print

Autumn Flowers by Kamisaka Sekka Canvas PrintWith this Japanese moonlit scene, scale decides whether the bedroom wakes up. Go small and it sits like a poem in the corner; go large and the silver moon becomes the calm centre of the whole wall. The room slows down around it softer light, longer evenings, a quieter atmosphere overall. Best on a warm off white or pale clay wall, hung at eye level above a low bed, console or sideboard. Pair it with pale oak, linen, paper shades and one stoneware

Skip the matchy travel posters and the framed maps

Think of it as Edward Lear with less reverence and better instincts

One bold poster

It's warm red typography with a point of view

A living room this pared back can take one serious pop of pink

texture and a bit of life around it

Drop it on the wall and the room settles

A seated court figure in a deep blue robe rests beside a bamboo fence and tall autumn grasses

Pairs nicely with oak or pale wood

and the ribbon-like waves cut a confident line right across the wall

Framed in oak or black for a clean travel-poster finish

A pale wall lets the colours sing without competition
