Sardines on Pink Art Print

Sardines on Pink Art PrintWhat's the kitchen missing? Soft pink with some nerve. A shoal of painted sardines in silver blue and teal cuts across a brushy pink ground, and suddenly the room has a point of view. Hang it on a quiet wall where it can do the talking above a sideboard, in a galley kitchen, or on the wall a dining table faces. Pair with painted cabinets, rattan, linen and a bit of brass. Stoneware in cream or warm pink keeps the palette honest. Avoid putting it next

The focus on food and drink themes enhances its appeal

Put it on the wall and the room slows down a touch — the cream backdrop lifts a heavier sofa

or along a hallway that needs a wink

Hung on a dark or chalky off-white wall

Give it breathing room — the composition needs space to read

the double portrait turns from nice idea to main character

coffee or chatter already happens

glossy modern art or anything cool and graphic will fight the soft

It brings movement and a quiet sense of travel into a room without shouting

A small girl wades through a calm blue bay below a folk-style Italian village of pink walls

The Highland cow stares straight out

Some portrait prints match a room
