At mid-morning, the breakfast still life turns from nice idea to main character. Twelve squares of thick, cheerful paint give a kitchen wall something to talk about, and the mustard, navy and soft pink blocks pick up whatever colour you already have in your crockery and tiles. Hang it on the wall by the kettle, in a breakfast nook, or above a sideboard in a dining room where people linger. It gets on well with painted cabinets, wooden worktops, rattan seating and simple striped textiles. Don’t crowd it with other busy food prints or a rack of open shelving right beside it this one needs a clear patch of wall to do its job. On fine-art paper the brush texture and colour edges stay crisp.
