Kittiwake Gull by Audubon Art Print

Kittiwake Gull by Audubon Art PrintWith seabirds, scale decides whether the hallway wakes up. Go small and it reads as a quiet collector's piece; go larger and the pale sky and grey blue plumage start to shift the light in the whole space. It softens a hard modern room and gives a traditional one a calm anchor. Hang at eye level above a console, a writing desk or a low sideboard, and let the off white background carry the eye. Pair it with linen, pale oak, antique leather and stoneware

Let this piece transport you to a tranquil seaside escape every day

Hang it where the room currently feels a touch flat

Daylight rooms suit it best

and the corners stop looking empty

open shelves of ceramics and a linen runner

the mustard yellow ground throws warmth across the whole wall and the deep blue linework pulls the eye in from the doorway

or in a teen bedroom that needs an anchor

heavy florals or bright graphic prints — this piece wants air around it

and the room feels warmer and a touch more playful

low bookcase or desk

and the typography gives it the feel of a real travel poster rather than a generic leaf print

and a small mirror
