Coastal Reflections, Matisse Inspired Canvas Print

Coastal Reflections, Matisse Inspired Canvas PrintWhat's the living room missing? Coral with some nerve. This Matisse inspired coastal scene brings warm shore tones up against a painterly blue green sea, and the room around it softens straight away. Walls feel less flat. A neutral sofa picks up new warmth. Sun faded textiles start to make sense together. Hang it on a calm wall above a console, low sideboard or reading chair, where you'll catch it as you walk in. It sits happily with linen, pale oak,

dark green and aubergine

soft pink or a deeper green all suit it

The painterly brushwork keeps it from feeling twee

Best on a feature wall in a kitchen

soft pink or sage cabinets

and the shimmer of a turquoise pool all set against an endless blue sky

There's a reason William Morris kept returning to nature

Eye-level on a chalky off-white or warm putty wall is the sweet spot

or on the wall you pass on the way in

Hang it where you walk past often

with a pale moon rising over teal hills and cypress trees catching the last warm light

stoneware mugs and a terracotta pot or two
