Wood Pewee by Audubon Art Print

Wood Pewee by Audubon Art PrintEven the linen in here starts looking expensive next to soft green. This is John James Audubon's Wood Pewee a dark perched bird on a slender branch of white honeysuckle, set against a warm off white background. Hang it in a study, a quiet bedroom or a reading corner and the room gets a slower, more considered feel. It works above a writing desk, a low chest of drawers, or as part of a small natural history wall. Pair it with walnut, aged leather,

sharp lettering

not just in October

and let the cream ground do the breathing for you

Don't dilute it by hanging it next to other quote prints or anything earnest

The lettering does the talking — a bold

brass handles and cream stoneware

and a breakfast nook stops feeling like a corridor and starts feeling like a place you'd sit with a coffee

Where to hang it: above a sideboard in a dining room

The print pulls the eye in straight away and gives the space a clear point of focus

breakfast nook or small dining corner

over a sofa in a bright living room

Avoid pairing it with anything too dark
