On the Hunt: Animal Prints

Embrace bright colors to play up a printed pattern. Animal textures will make great accents when incorporated in punchy colorways.

Add a bit of edge to a more traditional piece with upholstery. Brunschwig & Fils and Scalamandré are among our industry favorites in this category, and patterns like "Leopardo" and "Tigre" can even be purchased in smaller quantities on Etsy or eBay.

For a fresh take, add animal prints with an altered or deconstructed pattern. While a no-brainer for modern spaces, these reinterpreted classics are also clever ways to refresh more traditional rooms.
