How to Decorate With Animal Prints and the Color Orange
Various animal prints and patterns combine naturally to create a Safari theme that adds an exotic touch to the look of a bedroom or den. Tiger, leopard, zebra, cheetah, and impala prints on cotton or velvet, and lizard, snakeskin and alligator patterns embossed on leather or vinyl are complemented by warm, deep earth-tone wall colors. Terra-cotta orange and camel tan are good choices. Although the animal prints and the orange color add an exciting accent, use them in moderation or they become overpowering and lose impact. Does this Spark an idea?
