Red Sun, Cranes and Cherry Blossom Canvas Print

Call it calm if you want; we call it better walls. This vintage-feel Japanese scene brings a warm centre of gravity to a room without shouting for attention. The rusted red sun sits low, cherry blossom leans in from the right, and a small flock of cranes lifts through the cream sky. Hang it in a bedroom above a low bed, in a hallway that could do with a lift, or over a reading chair. It pairs happily with pale oak, dark walnut, linen throws, and stoneware in warm brown. Keep the wall around it fairly quiet chalky off-white or soft plaster tones let the red carry the room. Avoid crowding it with busy pattern or another loud focal piece.
