How To Use Cat Print Your Home

We are going kitty crazy this week as we take a look at the 5 best feline inspired items and accessories that will add some stylish fun to your home interior. Cat print is a huge trend this season alongside a large range of animal inspired patterns and it creates an area of visual interest and colour that is perfect for updating you current home interior.

Bedding

If you are a crazy cat lady like me then you will love nothing more than curling up in bed with your gorgeous moggy and enjoying some Saturday morning cuddles. But even if you don’t have a pet you can still show off your love for all things feline with a chic and stylish set of cat print bedding that will create a sleeping area that is both fun and fashionable. For a contemporary and minimal look then select a monochrome pattern with crisp white sheets and black pillowcases or if you enjoy a more flamboyant look then choose abstract cat images in bold colours and designs for an eye-catching pop of vibrancy. If you prefer a classic vintage look then select a traditional embroidered throw or blanket with knitted cat images that will create an air of shabby chic style and cosiness.

Wallpaper

Patterned wallpaper has become increasingly popular over the last few years with more and more people choosing to make a focal point with a bold feature wall or alcove area. Cat print wallpaper designs will add detail and quirkiness to your home interior and can create an accent colour that can be used throughout the rest of your home. Monochrome designs look particularly striking in bedroom and living room areas and they work well in both modern and traditional styles of interior. Quirky Japanese style, cartoon cat images will look great in an office, dressing room or children’s room as they add a sense of fun as well as illuminating colour to plain interior spaces. For a more realistic cat depiction that opt for a large wall mural with a selection of tabby, black and white and tortoiseshell cats that will create a vintage and cosy look in any living room area.

Cushions

For me no home looks complete without some stylish and bouncy cushions to add detail to plain seating and sleeping areas. Plain white sofas and bedding can be given a breath of fresh air with a selection of quirky and modern cat designed cushions in bright pink, orange, green and blue to create a focal point that makes a bold centrepiece within your living room space. For a more glamorous and sophisticated look then opt for black, white and grey cushions with cat silhouettes, profiles and pencil style drawings. If you prefer a more quirky look then select more unusual images such as the famous Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland or cat slogan designs with words such as ‘whiskers’, ‘meow’ and ‘purr’ that will add a contemporary twist on the classic cat print image.

Artwork

The elegant and curvaceous feline form has long been a favourite image for artists and sculptures to replicate in their work. A simple and stylish piece of cat print artwork can provide a simple and cost effective way to introduce this trend into the home without the need for a complete overhaul of your decor. A single framed cat image can create a striking yet refined focal point on a plain painted feature wall and can be depicted in simple black and white or bold colour options depending on your tastes and style. A series of three of four co-ordinating pictures can also look great on a larger wall space or down the stairs as a story telling device that shows the cat image moving seamlessly from one image to another (think of a comic strip). For a more classic look then opt for a traditional cat print watercolour or oil painting in muted colour tones for a period style interior look.

Crockery

Colourful and patterned crockery has made a huge comeback over the past year with many homes choosing to display their cups, plates and teapots in pride of place in their kitchens and dining room areas. Cat images in small prints along plates and mugs look particularly striking in black and white or classic white and blue colour palettes that can be displayed in a crisp white dresser for a modern take on a country cottage look. Quirky cat shaped measuring cups, bowls and cookie jars will give a fun and funky focal point to your kitchen area and are a great way of creating an accent colour within your interior space. Your crockery items can be further complimented with cat print glasses, placemats and coasters for a cat crazy table setting that will be both stylish and entertaining.
