Give the bedroom wall one hard decision, and let everything else relax. This is a soft grey pencil drawing of a curled, sleeping dog on a clean white background, and it asks nothing else of the room. Put it up and the wall goes quiet: the busy edges of a room settle, and the eye lands on one calm shape instead of five competing ones. It works above a bed, along a hallway, or over a low sideboard in a study. Pair it with pale wood, linen, wool and soft grey or off-white walls. Don’t crowd it with bright colour prints or heavy pattern either side, and don’t hang it too high the drawing rewards a closer look. As a canvas the surface takes the shine off the whites and gives it a softer, warmer edge.
