Flowers in a Vase by Henri Rousseau Art Print

Flowers in a Vase by Henri Rousseau Art PrintFor a living room full of curves, this still life brings the check. Henri Rousseau painted it in 1910, and the bouquet still does the heavy lifting pink peonies, white daisies, striped tulips and a spray of yellow mimosa, all standing tall against a deep green curtain. Hang it where you already have soft furniture and warm wood, and the room gets a focal point without anyone shouting. Above a sideboard, a console or the head of a bed works best. Pair

the dark background gives the rest of the room permission to be calm

so it likes a tall stretch of wall

Eye-level works best so the little figures and parasols stay readable

Pair with pale oak or whitewashed furniture

sky blue and deep green settles a room without trying too hard

inviting a sense of adventure and tranquility into your space

soft cream textiles and a single ceramic in clay or sand

Black or oak frame finishes it best

The Amalfi coastline does the heavy lifting — terracotta rooftops

eye-level when seated

Walls that were polite start feeling like they're hosting something

the sandy stone tones warm them back up
