Give the feature wall one hard decision, and let everything else relax. Two smiling cats ride a Hokusai-style wave with Mount Fuji in the background, all done in soft blues and cream. It’s the kind of print that does the heavy lifting in a room and lets the rest of the furniture stay quiet. Hang it on a calm wall warm white, pale grey or soft sage all work. It looks best above a low piece of furniture: a kid’s bed, a bathroom console, a small desk or a hallway bench. Pair with pale oak, linen and simple ceramics. Don’t crowd it with other busy prints or strong patterned wallpaper; it wants to be the main event. On canvas the wave reads a touch softer and more painterly.
