Put bluntly, your kitchen can carry more red than it thinks. Three green olives on a cocktail pick, a hand-lettered ‘Extra Dirty, Please’, and a red-and-cream gingham border that does most of the heavy lifting.

Hang it and the room loosens up. Mornings get a wink, evenings get a punchline, and the bar cart suddenly has a point of view.

Works above a drinks trolley, beside open shelving, in a galley kitchen between cupboards, or in a dining nook where people actually sit and talk. Portrait shape, so it slots neatly into narrower walls.

Pair with painted cabinets, brass tap fittings, gingham tea towels, stoneware in cream and red, and clear glass barware.

Probably not the print for a serious, monastic minimalist kitchen it wants to be the joke in the room. Stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang, with a soft matte finish.
