Cranes by Kamisaka Sekka Art PrintAgainst linen, the warm sand reads less sweet, more deliberate. The cranes and pine settle into the wall instead of shouting for attention. The room feels a little quieter once it's up slower, more considered, easier to sit in. Hang it above a low console, a sideboard, or at the foot of a bed where you'll see it from across the room.

The deep blue lifts off cream walls and earns its space above a console

a reading chair or a row of books

the line-drawn spaghetti stops looking decorative and starts working

Cycling-mad households

really — it suits the mood
