Cat Waiting by the Door Art Print

Cat Waiting by the Door Art Print'Too safe,' said nobody standing in front of soft cream. This one is quiet on purpose. A small black cat, a doorway, a few sure marks and a lot of breathing room around them. Hung in a hallway, reading nook or bedroom, it turns a blank patch of wall into a small moment of stillness. It sits beautifully on a chalky off white wall above a low bench or pale oak console, and plays well with linen, ceramics and soft, warm lighting. Don't crowd it. This

Hang it where you sit most — above a low sofa

Let the canvas hold the wall on its own

Keep the surrounding wall calm — busy patterns and competing florals fight for attention and the garden loses

the cream background reads as paper
