Against plaster, the soft pink reads less sweet, more deliberate. The illustration has the energy of a quick afternoon sketch, but the colours hold their ground.

A kitchen feels more lived-in with this on the wall. It adds warmth without going twee, and it gives a plain corner something to look at while the kettle boils.

Hangs well above a sideboard, on a narrow kitchen wall, or in a breakfast nook where a bit of colour earns its keep. Eye level is fine; slightly lower works too if it sits above a small console.

Pair with painted cabinets, open oak shelving, stoneware mugs in deep red or burgundy, and a glass cake dome if you have one. Keep one nearby surface clear so the print does the talking.

Not the piece for a strictly minimal scheme that wants nothing on the walls. Stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang straight from the box.
