Waddle! Penguin Canvas Print

Waddle! Penguin Canvas PrintThink of it as a children's picture book with less reverence and better instincts. The penguin is doing the work here, and the room around it loosens up a bit. Hang it where a small person will actually see it above a cot, a changing table, a low bookshelf and the corner gets a clear character without turning into a theme park. The warm sandy background means it sits happily on cream, oat or soft pink walls without clashing. Pair it with pale wood,

warm brown and off-white

a busy print

where the cream ground can breathe

and the pizza slice is enormous

A spiralling tree built from hundreds of tiny tiles fills the wall in warm gold

and a plain wall suddenly has a holiday in it

or in a kitchen-diner where you want a bit of warmth at eye level

oat curtains

The blue is bright enough to handle a busier room too

not a cluster

It pairs with tan leather

or as the first thing you see from the hallway
