With the Two Lost Ones Canvas Print

Give the living room wall one hard decision, and let everything else relax. This abstract does the talking in blocks of soft blue, dark brown, mustard and black, so your sofa, cushions and shelves can stay quiet. Put it up and the wall stops being background: the flat blocks pull the eye across the room and make plain paint look deliberate rather than unfinished. Hang it above a sofa, a sideboard or a long desk, roughly centred on the furniture below. Pair it with warm woods like walnut or teak, tan leather, wool cushions and simple cream ceramics. Don’t crowd it with busy patterned wallpaper or a tight cluster of small frames, and skip a second bold abstract on the same wall. As a canvas the painted surface reads softly, with no glare from across the room.
