How to Decorate with Animal Print

Animal prints have been popular for many years. Prints include leopard, zebra, tiger, cheetah, and other animals. In the past several years, they have become increasingly popular. The best way to decorate with animal print is to use only ONE print on ONE thing in your room. This article will list a few ways to decorate with animal print in a sophisticated way.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Animal print carpet or rugs are a popular choice for eclectic, transitional, and contemporary homes. Zebra rugs are especially popular in black and white rooms. If you have animal print carpet, you should have few, if any, other prints in the room. Do NOT do any other animal print in the room.

2. An animal print or faux fur ottoman is another sophisticated choice. Make sure you pair it with a solid colored sofa.

3. Upholstering an accent chair in animal print is a fun addition to a room. Since it is sure to draw attention, make sure it is not competing for attention with other items in the room.

4. For just a touch of animal print, consider using an animal print or faux fur pillow. The pillow can go on a chair, on a bed, or on the floor for kids to lay on while watching TV.
