Kirifuri Waterfall by Hokusai Art Print

Kirifuri Waterfall by Hokusai Art PrintLeave the feature wall blank if you like cautious rooms. This is a tall, museum style poster built around Hokusai's 1833 waterfall woodblock, and it changes the temperature of whatever it hangs in. The deep blues pull a room toward calm, the warm ochre stops it going cold, and the bold lower case title gives the whole thing a graphic, modern edge. It works best on a tall wall above a console in a hallway, behind a writing desk, or on a stair landing

Don't surround it with other busy patterns or competing animal prints — this one wants the wall to itself

Don't crowd it with other heavy travel posters or sharp graphic prints

a bit more playful — the sort of wall that makes people stop on the way through

The black background swallows light and pulls the room a shade darker

and the type gives the eye somewhere to rest

soft pink and a streak of green-blue

warm brown

and the cola bottle adds a sly

One chart per wall

plain neutrals look less plain

it reads as a quiet

Don't drown it in heavy patterns or hot colours — the line work needs a bit of quiet around it
