and the type gives the eye somewhere to land

this kind of botanical scene helps

Turnstone by Audubon Art Print Size:80x60cm / 32x24in Avoid busy patterned wallpaperHere's the trick: let the shorebirds cut through all that walnut. Heavy timber, leather and dark wallpaper can start to feel airless, and an antique bird plate gives the eye somewhere soft to land. The warm cream paper lifts the room, while the chestnut and dark brown feathers tie back into the woodwork so nothing fights. Hang it at eye level in a study, hallway or country style living room above a writing desk, console or a low bookshelf works well.
