Pumpkin on Gingham Canvas Print

Some still life prints match a room. This one resets its pecking order. Hang it in a kitchen and the room stops being about the appliances and starts being about the table. The warm brown and cream check gives the wall a soft fabric backing, and the pumpkin sits on it like something just brought in from the garden. It works above a counter, on a pantry door wall, between two shelves, or in a narrow run of hallway near the back door. Pair it with painted cupboards, stoneware, checked tea towels and pine. Don't hang it against patterned wallpaper or a busy tiled splashback, and don't crowd it with glossy modern graphics. As a canvas, the check picks up a woven, tea-towel texture.
