V is for Violet.
Violets are of the plant genus Viola. Featured here is the one more exotic Parma Violet synonymous with the signature scent and flavour of sweets, which for many are a love it or hate it product.
The Botanical Alphabet is inspired by old scientific botanical illustrations and categories of olden day Explorers and Naturists. Paired with modern outlined sans serif letters and bold colour blocks, it has a much more contemporary feel while still keeping a hint of the much loved illustration genre of the past.
The Botanical Alphabet series is also available as greeting cards, so you can send a very personal card for any occasion featuring your friend’s initial.
Deep purple, soft lavender, forest green, and flashes of warm white form the heart of this print, with the violet flowers and bold letter V pulling the palette firmly into cool, blue-leaning territory. Walls in dusty mauve or muted plum sit in easy analogous harmony with the print’s dominant purple tones, while a pale sage or soft sage-grey picks up the cool green of the botanical foliage without competing. For something with more contrast, a warm off-white with a barely-there grey undertone lets the lavender stripe and deep violet letter read with real clarity – that cool neutrality matches the print’s temperature without draining its colour. This is a print that earns its place in a bedroom, where the violet hues read as restful, or in a home library or study where the vintage-meets-modern sensibility feels considered and settled. A hallway is another natural home, especially if you’re building a gallery wall – this print belongs to the Botanical Alphabet collection, a series that pairs the charm of vintage scientific illustration with bold, clean sans-serif letterforms and vivid colour blocks, and it sits beautifully alongside other letters from the collection spelt out as initials or a favourite word. Interior styles that suit it honestly include botanical maximalism, eclectic vintage, Scandi-influenced modern, and contemporary craft. It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone with a name or a passion that begins with V – gardeners, plant lovers, and typography enthusiasts especially.
Printed with archival pigment inks on Enhanced Matte art paper, a smooth gallery-grade stock with a soft, glare-free surface, this is a museum-grade print that works as well in a slim oak or black metal frame as it does in an ornate gilded one, the matte finish eliminating glare under both natural and artificial light. The A4 sits neatly on a shelf or slotted into a gallery wall arrangement; the A3 works as a confident desk or bedside piece; the A2 holds its own as a standalone statement; and the A1 is large enough to anchor a full wall in a sitting room or bedroom. This print is also available as a 28×40 inch (70×100 cm) canvas, ready to hang with no frame needed.
