When the living room feels over-arranged, this kind of animal portrait helps. A tabby cat sits calm and still in the middle of a busy flower meadow, and that contrast does the work for you. Put it up and the room gets colour without going loud: dark green, mustard, deep red and warm orange all pull together, so a tidy sofa wall suddenly has something to look at. It hangs well above a sofa, over a sideboard, or at the top of a hallway. Pair it with warm woods, velvet or linen seating, and a few glazed ceramics. Don’t crowd it with other heavily patterned pieces on the same wall it needs a little breathing space to read properly. On fine-art paper the tiny dotted flower detail stays crisp.
