Orange Tree by William Morris Canvas Print

Orange Tree by William Morris Canvas PrintGive the feature wall one hard decision, and let everything else relax. This Morris inspired orange tree carries the room on its own deep navy, dark green leaves and rounded orange fruit, all drawn in that patient Arts and Crafts hand. Put it up and the wall stops being background. Sofas, rugs and shelves can stay quiet; this is the bit people look at. The deep navy reads almost black from across the room, then opens up into pattern as you get closer.

Printed on thick fine-art paper with a soft matte surface that suits the painterly mosaic detail

the brushwork and chalky surface read clearly

a coloured helix winds down the middle

this kind of cheeky diner-review humour on a wall would have felt radical

cream linen and stoneware in soft whites and warm clay tones

Heavier kitchens loosen up

takes the edge off a too-tidy living room

Hang it where people eat and talk: above a kitchen sideboard

a small study or a narrow hallway where one upright shape can do all the talking

Hang it in a kitchen above a console

and the soft pink rectangle behind it warms everything up without shouting

It feels cheerful but never loud
