For a kitchen full of curves, this still life brings the check. Rounded teapot, cup and plates sit against the straight lines of a window frame, and that mix is what makes the wall feel settled. Hung up, it slows a room down. Grey daylight in the panes cools a warm kitchen; the brown table and terracotta cloth stop it going flat. It suits a breakfast nook, the gap above a counter, or a quiet bedroom wall where you want something to look at over a cup of tea. Pair it with painted cabinetry, warm timber and cream stoneware. Don’t crowd it with signs, slogans or busy patterned wallpaper it needs plain wall around it to read properly. On canvas the thick brushwork looks closer to a small original painting.
