How to Incorporate Animal Prints Without Overwhelming Your Space
We’ll be the first ones to admit we have a hard time resisting a good animal print (I mean, have you seen our Pattern of the Year?). If you’re like most people, you’ve probably wondered how to embrace the trend without overdoing it, and we’re here to show you the way. While it can be tempting to embrace ALL of the prints, less is more when it comes to decorating with these fun fabrics. Take a look at our favorite inspiration images and shopping picks below—but don’t blame us if you have a hard time narrowing down your favorites!
We love this living room for many reasons, but specifically the stylish contrast between the vertically striped black and white pillows, abstract artwork, textured shag pillows, and dash of leopard print fabric.
This image serves as proof positive that just one oversized animal print can go a long way. Tucked under four chairs and anchored by a circular coffee table, this zebra-printed rug pulls the entire room together.
Graphic cheetah print wallpaper is the luxurious focal point of this small powder room. Complemented by a simple white vanity, gold metal hardware and fixtures, and a dash of emerald green, it’s the perfect pop this space needs.
