Morris Hamster in the Cotton Garden Art Print

Morris Hamster in the Cotton Garden Art PrintNot because it's deep green, but because it refuses to fade back. The little hamster at the centre pulls every eye in the room, and the dense leafy border keeps it from feeling fussy. Put it up and a quiet wall starts feeling considered. The dark backdrop gives the off white background of the poster something to push against, so the whole piece reads as warm rather than busy. It suits a study, a hallway, or a cottage leaning living room. Hangs

gives a room the confidence to commit

and gives a dog-loving home a piece of art that isn't twee

or on the short wall of a galley kitchen

This Strawberry Thief exhibition poster pulls his famous garden bird out of the wallpaper and gives it a quiet cream background and tidy black lettering to sit inside

With it on the wall

slightly retro and not trying too hard

The portrait shape means it suits narrow walls between cabinets or above a console

or in a slim oak or black wood frame

rich in blues and greens

and the whole thing feels lived-in rather than staged

Above a low bench or console is better

so a child can find it from the floor
