Jungle Power!

Animal prints are always trendy, but make sure you’re not guilty of using them incorrectly. Too many animal prints or choosing ones that clash with the rest of your décor can look cheap instead of chic. Here are ideas to make them work.

Brighten Up Your Neutrals

If you have lots of neutrals in your space, a leopard-print cushion or cheetah-print throw on the sofa can be perfect to bring the room to life. Just make sure you stick to one or two items. You don’t want the space to be overwhelmed!

Put It On The Wall

If you love animal prints but aren’t sure how to incorporate them into your décor, concentrate on artwork. A simple frame featuring some animal print fabric can be all you need to give your home some creativity. If you have animal artwork or photos, put these up instead.

Mix It Up

You might not think that animal prints can go with other patterns, but they can. The key is to focus on small prints and make sure their colour palettes are similar. This ensures a harmonious space.

Texture Matters!

It’s not just animal patterns and colours that can make your interior design look chic, but texture too. For instance, a soft animal-print rug or faux fur throw can give the room a quick splash of elegance in any surrounding.

Think Beyond Stripes And Spots

Animal print doesn’t only have to refer to leopard spots or zebra stripes. You can also bring a wild touch to your home with pictures of wildlife, such as on cushions or in artwork. This provides a refreshing way to think out of the box when it comes to animal prints. It often complements other types of prints and décor styles easier, allowing you to bring more colour to your space without losing your design personality.
