Once the deep blue enters, the whole room stops apologising. Two sleeping cats curl into each other above a meadow of mustard, orange and powdery blue blooms, set against a starry indigo sky in the Klimt-inspired poster style.

It warms the wall and softens the room. Lamps look kinder next to it, the bed looks more inviting, and the corner you usually ignore starts pulling its weight.

Best above a bed, a low dresser, or in a hallway that wants a moment of pause. It also holds its own on a small feature wall in a snug or reading nook.

Pair with cream linen, oak or walnut, a mustard cushion or two, and warm bulbs over cool ones. Stoneware in earth colours works. A handwoven rug grounds it nicely.

Don’t crowd it with other strong floral prints or anything cute and cartoonish this piece wants quiet company. The canvas wrap gives it a softer, more painterly finish that suits the brushwork.
