Open Up Poster

A single figure stretches both arms overhead against a sage-green ground, with a band of warm rust running along the bottom. The colours are unusual and well judged: green and brick red held together by pink stripes, cream, and small notes of yellow and blue. There is something open and unguarded about the pose, which gives the poster a calm, optimistic presence. The portrait format suits a narrow wall, a bedroom corner or the space beside a doorway. It works especially well against warm greige and natural wood, where the green reads soft rather than sharp.

In a bedroom, the upright format could work well above a chair, a chest of drawers or just off to the side of the bed. The sage and rust palette pairs nicely with greige walls, linen bedding and warm wood tones. A natural oak frame keeps the mood gentle, while a thin black frame would give it more edge in a graphic room. Hang it slightly lower than eye level if it sits above furniture, so the raised arms have room to breathe.
