By late afternoon, the floral portrait stops looking decorative and starts working. The soft pink background warms up as the light drops, and the deep reds and mustard yellows come forward instead of flattening out. Hang it and a quiet wall gets a focal point people actually stop at the cat gets spotted second, which is half the fun. It suits a living room chimney breast, the wall above a sideboard, or a hallway you walk past every day. Pair it with warm brown wood, rattan, velvet in a plain colour, and simple stoneware. Keep patterned wallpaper and busy florals away from it this piece is the pattern in the room. As a canvas, the soft pink reads warmer still and the surface stays glare-free.
