For a living room full of curves, this abstract brings the check. Rounded sofas and soft cushions get a straight edge to push against, and the room instantly looks more considered. Hang it where the eye lands first: above a low sideboard, on a chimney breast, or on the blank wall you keep walking past. The deep black centre gives the room a fixed point, while the chipped off-white border and warm brown flecks keep it from feeling cold. Pair it with aged leather, dark wood, wool and simple cream ceramics. Don’t crowd it with lots of small pictures or busy patterned wallpaper this one needs space and a plain wall to do its job. As canvas, the worn painted surface looks convincingly like a real weathered panel.
