Leave the bedroom wall blank if you like cautious rooms. This one asks for a little more. A single curled cat, drawn in fine pencil on plain white, turns an empty stretch of wall into something with a pulse. The room gets quieter and warmer at the same time. Hang it at eye level above a chest of drawers, along a hallway, or over a desk where you look up often. Pair it with pale wood, linen bedding, wool throws and plain white or grey walls. Keep the area around it clear busy patterned wallpaper, strong colour blocks or a crowd of competing pictures will bury the fine pencil lines. On premium fine-art paper, the lightest coat markings stay crisp.
