Distant Pagodas in Mist Canvas Print dinosaur in art Keep the wall plain —

Keep the wall plain — chalky off-white or a soft blue works best

It still has that holiday feel

Skip cool steel-grey schemes and busy modern graphics on the same wall

Dining rooms get a wink

and the wall above a small writing desk

Distant Pagodas in Mist Canvas Print dinosaur in art Keep the wall plain —Back in the 1980s, this ink wash landscape belonged to another kind of home a quiet study with tatami floors and a single low lamp. It brings that same hush into a modern room. The soft greys and washed blues cool a room down without emptying it out; the tiny figure at the base gives the eye somewhere to rest. Hang it in a bedroom, study or hallway where you want a slower pace. It sits well next to pale oak, linen, stoneware and black iron fittings.
