The hour at low tide when colours that shouldn't touch do anyway. Three great washes of ink-blue, ochre and dusted rose bleed into one another across ivory, with navy threading the seams.

• Three colour washes: ink-blue, ochre and dusted rose
• Watercolour effect: dense at the centre, fading soft towards the ivory
• Navy seams: threading where the washes meet
• Hand-tufted in Jodhpur: warm, flowing colour
• Best placed: beneath an emerald velvet sofa, under a Georgian cornice or concrete ceiling
