Waves and Fireworks by Shin Bijutsukai Canvas Print

First glance: deep blue. Second glance: the woodblock design doing something smarter. A circle of crashing waves sits below a quiet burst of fireworks, lifted by a tiny flash of pink and pale yellow. On the wall, the room slows down. The blue gives a calm, lived-in room a clear focal point without taking it over, and the cream ground keeps everything else feeling roomy. Hang it above a low console, a writing desk or a slim sideboard in a study, bedroom or hallway. Pair with pale oak, linen, indigo ceramics and woven natural textures. Skip glossy modern finishes and very busy patterned wallpaper next to it – the design needs a little breathing room to do its work.
