seems to leap across your wall

The palette is subtle but never dull

A pale oak stool or a small mid-century chair sits well underneath

Skip busy patterned wallpaper and don't crowd it with other travel prints in clashing colour ways — this one wants a bit of quiet either side

Skip it if your room is cool grey and minimal — this one wants to be the loudest thing on the wall

Peruvian Racket-Tail by John Gould Art Print Size:30x40cm / 12x16in seems to leap across yourLeave the chalky off white wall blank if you like cautious rooms. This restored John Gould plate brings two Peruvian racket tail hummingbirds, blue berries and pale green foliage to a quiet corner and gives it something to look at. Hang it in a bedroom, study or hallway where people slow down above a low chest, a reading chair or a narrow console. It sits happily next to linen upholstery, oak or walnut timber, brass fittings and a few real plants.
