How do you mix animal prints in home decor?
- Start with a Neutral Base: Begin with a neutral color palette for the larger elements in the room such as walls, sofas, and rugs. This provides a cohesive backdrop that allows the animal prints to stand out without overwhelming the space.
- Choose One Dominant Print: Adrian (our interior designer), shares that the best next step is to "select one animal print to be the focal point of your decor. This could be a zebra rug, a leopard print throw, or a cheetah-patterned armchair. Ensure this dominant print is used in the central pieces to anchor the room."
- Add Complementary Prints: Incorporate smaller accents of different animal prints through pillows, throws, or art pieces. Keep the scale and color of these prints similar to create harmony. For example, if your dominant print is a bold leopard pattern, opt for smaller-scale zebra or cheetah prints in similar hues.
