In the Land of Precious Stones by Klee Canvas Print

When the living room feels over-arranged, this kind of abstract landscape helps. It gives the eye one strange, quiet place to go instead of six competing details. Hung on a pale wall, the deep blue and black block settles the whole room down, and the cool green and small red shapes stop it feeling cold. Best above a sofa, a low sideboard or on a study wall where you sit close enough to find the little figures. Pair it with pale wood, off-white plaster, linen and one or two green or red ceramics. Do not crowd it with busy patterned frames or fussy shelf styling underneath it needs a bit of empty wall to make sense. As a canvas the deep blue and black read soft and matt, with no shine to fight the light.
