A little inspiration for your space

Soft lamplight, leafy shapes and a few favourite flowers can turn an empty wall into a cosy corner. Keep the frames similar for a calm look, or mix the finishes for a more collected feel. These styled room mockups show other designs from the wider collection.

One lovely statement print

A single Art Deco Gardens design makes a sweet focal point above a little console. Fine gold lines look especially pretty with a brass frame.
