Before anyone mentions storybook illustration, notice what the warm brown does to linen. It picks up the same soft, sandy tone, so the whole corner of the room reads as one warm palette instead of a poster stuck on a wall. Hang it low, at standing-child height, beside a cot or above a changing table, chest of drawers or reading chair. It works next to pale wood, cane baskets, muslin and cream ceramics, and it sits happily on an off-white or oat wall. Keep the area around it calm this one loses its charm if you crowd it with bright primary-colour toys on shelves or busy patterned wallpaper. One quiet piece nearby is plenty. On fine-art paper the flecked texture in the feathers stays soft and matte.
