Seaside Morning with Dog Art Print

Seaside Morning with Dog Art PrintWhen the bedroom feels over arranged, this kind of painterly scene helps. Open green shutters, a blue sea, a sleeping dog on a red floral throw it reads warm and lived in rather than styled to death. The room softens around it. Walls in soft pink, warm white or a chalky sage all work, and it sits happily above a bed or a low chest. Pair it with linen, painted wood, rattan and a bit of ceramic anything with a handmade edge. Avoid sleek lacquer, cold

Avoid hanging it next to glossy slogan prints or anything heavily monochrome — the looseness of the brushwork wants softer

and busy patterned wallpaper nearby

a rush runner and stoneware in deep reds

Hang it and a quiet kitchen suddenly has a personality

painted with the warm shadows and theatrical lighting of a classic still life

Skip heavy gilt frames and busy florals nearby — they fight the leaves

with its stacked pastel houses and small boats on a teal harbour

brass or matte black hardware

Hang it solo at eye level above a low headboard or console

The cream border keeps it light

The room warms up the moment it goes up

or in a bedroom that needs a bit of wit
