Test it this way: if the kitchen feels safe, size up. This piece sardines in their tins with whole and sliced citrus on a soft grey ground is built to lift a quiet room, not blend into it. Hang it and the kitchen stops being purely functional. Mustard, slate teal and warm orange pull the eye, and suddenly the toaster corner looks deliberate. Best above a sideboard, a small dining table, or on the bit of wall between the fridge and the door that you’ve never known what to do with. Pair with pale oak, brass handles, stoneware in cream or terracotta, and a single trailing plant. Skip the gallery cluster it wants to do the talking on its own. Stretched canvas on a wooden frame, ready to hang.
