William Morris Inspired Bear Canvas Print

William Morris Inspired Bear Canvas PrintMost bear prints behave. This one picks a side. It's a William Morris inspired exhibition poster with a calm brown bear set inside dense woodland foliage and faded pink blooms. Hang it and the room steadies. The deep green and warm brown pull the rest of the room together, so cushions, rugs and wood tones suddenly look like they belong to each other. The exhibition layout adds a bit of borrowed gravity without making the room feel stuffy. It works

the figures are funny

soft sage or muted blue all work

Hang it in a relaxed living room

poster-like flatness the design relies on

the cat stops looking decorative and starts working

and the brushwork carries the whole mood

the desk feels less serious

painted with a light hand and a confident eye

Buy disco cherries for the story

or in a kitchen-diner where house plants already live

One loud fruit

Soft pink and dark green do most of the work
