Three things it does fast: ground hot pink, sharpen pale oak, wake the kitchen. It pulls a flat, beige room into colour without taking itself too seriously — pasta, wine bottle, picnic rug, a small tiger, a dachshund, all loose and a bit chaotic. Hang it above a kitchen counter, a small dining sideboard, or in a family breakfast nook. Pairs well with painted timber, gingham linen, stoneware bowls and a cluster of plants. Don't hang it next to anything else fighting for attention — one statement is plenty, give it room to be the loud one. Looks great floated in an oak frame, which keeps the white border clean.
