Portrait of Postman Roulin by Van Gogh Art Print

Portrait of Postman Roulin by Van Gogh Art PrintGive the feature wall one hard decision, and let everything else relax. This is Van Gogh's postman, all soft turquoise behind him and a deep blue uniform in front a face that holds a room without shouting. Once it's up, the wall stops being a wall and starts being a presence. The turquoise softens the air, the dark coat anchors the bottom, and the warm beard pulls the eye to the middle. Quiet rooms get a centre. Busy rooms get a moment of pause. It

a low console or a chest of drawers in a bedroom

It works for people who like landmarks but don't want a postcard on the wall

Once the deep red enters

terracotta and a rug with some pattern

Chalky off-white or warm cream walls let the turquoise sing

Perfect for coffee lovers

The cream ground keeps things calm while the soft pink checks and pale blue lettering do the heavy lifting

In a hallway where you want a hit of colour as you walk in

above a sideboard in the kitchen

Three things it does fast: ground grey

It works best at eye level on a narrow wall

pared down to silhouette and posture
