The Kiss with Cat, after Klimt Art Print

The Kiss with Cat, after Klimt Art PrintTry it above the sideboard; the loose hand stitched shapes will do the editing. The room softens around the gold and cream, and the black cat in the corner gives the eye somewhere quiet to land. Walls feel warmer, evenings feel slower, and a plain off white room suddenly has a story in it. Hang it at eye level above a low sideboard, console or reading chair, where the swirls can be read up close. Pair with oak or walnut, brass lamps, a stoneware vase

The fine-art paper keeps the reds rich and the blacks crisp

clay or soft green

The pink and green pull warmth into the room and the small flashes of blue stop it tipping twee

the warm sand background settles the room and the red hat gives kids something to point at

a black frame sharpens it up

or a bedside chest where you'll see it close up

or use it to anchor a tall wall between two windows

and the whole thing gives a quiet kitchen a sense of humour without needing more colour anywhere else

a console in the hall

sideboard or bed

wool throws and brushed brass

or an entryway — anywhere people walk past and glance up
