Before anyone mentions flat illustration, notice what the soft pink does to pale wood. It warms it up, so a plain cot or a birch shelf stops looking like flat-pack and starts looking chosen. Hang it at child eye-level rather than adult height above a low bookcase, beside a cot, or on the wall a toddler sees from the floor. Keep the rest of the room simple: cream bedding, a woven basket, one or two soft toys on show. Pair it with other plain-background animal pieces rather than busy patterns. Don’t crowd it with alphabet charts, bright primary-colour toys on the same wall, or a gallery of ten small frames the pink background needs a bit of breathing room. As a canvas the edges are soft and there’s no glazing, which suits a child’s room.
