Call it vibrant if you want; we call it better walls. A black cat sits at the heart of a Klimt-style flower garden orange poppies, blue cornflowers and pink blooms over deep green leaves. The room around it picks up the warmth and the colour starts to talk back. Hang it where people actually sit: above a sofa, behind a reading chair, or on the main wall of a snug. It loves company that’s quieter than it is plain linen, deep green or oxblood velvet, warm timber, a few stoneware pots. Skip the matchy florals nearby; one statement is enough. Stretched on a wooden frame for a softer, painterly finish straight on the wall.
