By late afternoon, the cat stops looking decorative and starts working. The light shifts, the deep green pond seems to deepen, and the sleeping ginger face becomes the quietest thing in the room. It softens a sharp modern space and adds a small dose of humour without going twee. Hang it above a child’s bed, a reading chair or a small console in a hallway where people pause. It sits well with pale oak, linen, woven baskets and stoneware in cream and mustard. Skip it if the room is already crowded with busy florals or strong pattern this one wants a bit of quiet around it to land properly. Stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang straight from the box.
