Put bluntly, your kitchen can carry more pink than it thinks. This is a textile-inspired abstract built from painted stripes, dots, cross-stitch lines and a fringed tassel band, in soft pink, teal, mustard and a flash of deep red.

Hang it and a flat wall starts behaving like a room with a personality. The colours warm the space without taking it over, and the hand-painted feel keeps things relaxed.

It works best at eye level above a console, a small dining table or a kitchen counter — somewhere you actually pause. Square format makes it easy to centre.

Pairs well with pale oak, rattan, linen, woven rugs and stoneware in clay tones. Brass or aged copper fittings pick up the mustard nicely.

The canvas adds a soft, slightly textured edge that suits the painterly, handmade feel of the design.
