Eight Ball Art Print

Eight Ball Art PrintTest it this way: if the games room feels safe, size up. This is graphic, loud and unapologetic a single black sphere with a clean white circle and a hand drawn number eight, cropped low so it pulls the eye straight to the floor of the wall. Put it up and a flat room gets a focal point in seconds. Quiet walls suddenly have a centre of gravity. It works best on its own, hung lower than feels natural, above a sideboard, console or pool cue rack. Pair

and the owl pulls the eye in

A simple oak or black frame keeps it looking modern rather than souvenir-shop

and ceramics in warm earthy tones

the room reads as considered rather than busy

or on a narrow bit of wall by the kettle

or in a study where you'd like a little warmth and a little wit

above a slim console in the entryway

pale wood looks deliberate

warm terracotta

What not to do: don't crowd it with other busy travel posters or strong patterns — let the type and the palm tree do the talking

ceramic mugs and woven baskets

tiled roofs
