Blue Cat by Louis Wain Canvas Print

Blue Cat by Louis Wain Canvas PrintThree things it does fast: ground deep blue, sharpen brass, wake the living room. Louis Wain's blue cat stares straight out, all yellow eyes and fine white linework, and it changes the temperature of a room within seconds. Walls feel quieter, woodwork looks warmer, and any room with character suddenly has a centrepiece. Hang it eye level above a sideboard, console or low sofa, or let it run a hallway on its own. Pairs well with deep velvet upholstery,

It adds a clean pop of red to rooms that have gone a bit safe with grey

Go too small and it reads as a postcard

or a console near a window where natural light can bounce off it

and gives a busy room a sense of order — there is a lot going on

dusty pink and mustard textiles agree with it without competing

while the coral and deep purple fruit add just enough punch to wake up a quiet wall

around eye level above a sideboard

a hallway that needs cooling down

hand-thrown stoneware and pale linen

It greets you and your guests without trying too hard

orange roofline

It loves warm afternoon light
