Test it this way: if the living room feels safe, size up. This is a cheerful, slightly playful piece that wants to lead, not blend.

Hang it and the room loosens up. The pinks pull warmth into pale walls, the green curtains nod to any plants you already have, and the small black cat gives the eye somewhere to land.

It works above a sofa, on a wide chimney breast, or as the one bright thing in a hallway that needs livening up.

Pair it with pink or oat-toned upholstery, painted timber, rattan, striped cushions, and ceramics in coral or green. A simple oak or white frame keeps the focus on the colour.

Don’t crowd it with another loud floral or a second statement piece let it do the talking. Stretched on a wooden frame and ready to hang straight out of the box.
