Too much beige. Not enough pink. This fixes that. A black dog sits centre-stage in a candy-pink and blue bathroom, painted loose and confident, with a mint mirror and a small green mug for company.

Hang it and the wall stops being polite. Pink wakes up. Black anchors. Blue keeps it cool. The room feels lived-in and a bit cheeky rather than styled to within an inch of its life.

It works above a low console in a hallway, on a bathroom feature wall, or in a kitchen corner that needs personality. Family bathrooms and kids’ rooms take to it especially well.

Pair with painted timber, brass taps, woven baskets and plain cotton towels. A pale oak stool or a small mid-century chair sits well underneath.

Don’t surround it with other busy prints or competing pinks the canvas already brings warmth and softness; let it lead.
