Take a walk on the wild side this autumn season with a stylish collection of animal prints and patterns that will create visual focal points within your home interior. These classic patterns have long been used across fashion, clothes and interior design and are perfect for adding a hint of fun to your chosen room. With many different patterns and colours seen across the different animal prints this look is perfectly versatile and can be incorporated into both bold and minimal interior designs.
If warm and cosy colours are right up your alley then why not opt for a leopard or tiger print pattern that features rich browns, creams and golden tones that are sure to create a homely and cosy feel within your chosen room. If you stick to a neutral colour palette across your walls using a simple cream or beige paint you could add a large and bold leopard print wallpaper to a main feature wall to create a focal point within your interior space. Alternatively, why not update a chocolate brown leather sofa with a selection of tiger print cushions that will look wonderful against the sleek cool leather and can be coordinated with a tiger print rug or tan leather accessories for added animal instinct.
If crisp and clean lines are more your style, then why not opt for some fabulous zebra print items and accessories that are sure to create a pop of pattern while still maintaining a sleek and sophisticated finish. Zebra print bedding will look wonderful in a chic monochrome bedroom and can be used alongside simple white painted furniture for a clean and linear finish. Zebra print also works great on curtains and cushions and can be teamed with some fabulous silver sequined or silver metallic cushions for added luxury and opulence. If you're looking for a subtler look with your animal print patterns, then why not place a large zebra print canvas on a plain white wall to create a visual focal point within your home.
Animal prints do not have to be bold and overpowering they can also be chic and subtle and easily incorporated into any home interior. Why not take inspiration from Nordic interior design and include a range of faux furs and hides into your home interior. These soft and textural finishes are elegant and refined and come in a wide variety of colour schemes that make them a versatile choice for any home. Choose a selection of soft grey wolf inspired cushions, rugs and throws that will look great on a sofa or sleeping area and create a snuggly space for the winter months. Alternatively, why not select some deer inspired faux fur items that are warm and golden and are sure to create a welcoming ambience in any room of the home. These could be partnered with some faux fur light shades and antler wall art for added visual detail
