Skip anything that competes for the joke — busy gallery walls

linen or oak nearby reads as part of the scene rather than just furniture

painted in soft cream and warm beige against washy blocks of sage and oat

Cream lampshades, oat sofas and pale wood all look softer next to it, and the deep red carnations pull the eye to one calm spot in the room. Hang it in a hallway, study or snug living room above a console, a writing desk or a low sideboard works best. It pairs beautifully with brass fittings, aged leather, velvet cushions and stoneware in earth tones.
