Why You Need These Adorable West Elm Plates in Your Home

Cuteness alert! We spotted these whimsical animal-bedecked plates at West Elm and couldn’t resist the urge to pass (several of) them up.

They feature unique animal portraits based on actual paintings, and each Dapper Animal Plate is dressed up by designer Rachel Kozlowski. Not only will they be a serious conversation starter at your next summer party, but we can’t help but smile whenever we catch a glimpse of these fierce friends.

At $10 a pop, we’ll be the first ones to admit they’re pricier than your typical plates. Whether you’re looking for the perfect hostess present or want to dress up your kitchen cabinets, they’re well worth adding to your cart.

Go ahead, check out these four fun styles—and let us know which one is your favorite!

In his trendy low-scoop shirt and cobalt blue blazer, this colorful macaw looks like he’d be the life of the party. 

We think it’s adorable how this tree frog has elongated her neck with her cascading multi-tiered necklace. Her oversized straw hat only adds to her unique beauty. 

This stylish ocelot added a pair of on-trend tassel earrings to her multicolored sheath dress, looking like something out of a high-end fashion magazine. 

This shaggy-haired tamarin appears to be taking a cue from Southern California surf culture with his shark tooth and wooden beaded necklaces, which are perfectly accented by his shirt being opened a few buttons.
