Sleeping Tabby Cat, Curled Canvas Print

Leave the chalky off-white wall blank if you like cautious rooms. This one asks for a bit more warmth than that. Put the sleeping cat up and the wall stops being empty space — it becomes the calm corner of the room, the bit your eye goes to when you sit down. It works low over a bed, above a chest of drawers, or on a short stretch of study wall where you read. Keep the company simple: linen, wool, pale or mid wood, plain ceramics, soft grey or off-white paint. Don't crowd it with busy pattern or loud colour prints — the pencil detail needs breathing room to read properly. As a canvas the white background reads as a soft matte surface, with no glass to bounce light back at you.
