Leave the feature wall blank if you like cautious rooms. This is a confident, mischievous portrait a tabby in yellow sunglasses, orange bow tie and a rose-print jacket and it brings a clear point of view with it.

The room loosens up the moment it goes up. Conversations start. The wall stops being polite.

It works best on a feature wall in the living room, a hallway, or a kid’s room where personality is welcome. Give it air on either side rather than crowding it.

Pair it with velvet or warm upholstery, oak or walnut wood, brass fittings, and patterned cushions in rust, mustard or deep green. A small house plant nearby helps.

Don’t put it next to other busy patterned art it wants to be the loudest thing on the wall. Stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang.
