Even the plaster in here starts looking expensive next to that deep sea blue. The room stops being purely practical and picks up a bit of humour a chip-shop joke told well, in thick painterly brushwork. It earns its place on a kitchen wall, above a breakfast table, or in a dining room where people actually laugh. Hang it at eye level so the hand-lettered line reads from the doorway. Pair with painted cabinets, striped cotton, stoneware and pale wood. Skip the polite botanical grid beside it this one wants a bit of space and one strong neighbour at most. On canvas the thick brushwork reads as real paint across the room.
