Melbourne City Bloom Canvas Print

First glance: deep blue. Second glance: the cityscape doing something smarter. Look again and the flowers aren’t a border at all they’re standing in front of the buildings, so the city sits back and the room gets depth instead of clutter. Hung up, a flat wall stops being flat. The blue holds the whole thing together, which is why it can carry a lot of colour without shouting. Give it a wall you actually walk past: above a sideboard, in a hallway, or on a stair landing where you catch it from below. Pair it with warm timber, cane and one strong colour picked from the flowers. Don’t hang it beside another busy patterned piece, and don’t bury it behind lamps or tall plants the top half needs clear air. As a canvas, the painted surface reads softly and needs no glazing.
