Animal prints: love or hate these patterns?

People’s interests and preferences are always individual, so they are different from person to person and in many cases even in stark contrast to one another. Many people are enthusiastic about faux fur and various animal patterns, others see them as cheesy imitations.

Animal print ?! Numerous opinions on this are far from each other. But in my experience it is a polarization pattern that is either loved or loathed, with equal conviction on both sides. Its critics are repelled by the boastful use of artificial animal skins indoors because it reminds them of the game-hunting mentality. But there are also millions of enthusiasts for whom an animal pattern in all its great variations looks neutral. They find it goes well with all textures, exudes a lot of warmth and reminds them of the natural world in the same way that wood does. Loved or hated, the animal print is an old and well-known pattern that adorns the interior in almost every style. Here we want to show you 12 examples of how you can use animal prints and faux fur all over your home.

Combine different animal prints with each other

Interesting animal prints on the upholstery for an upscale look in the dining room

Not only can you mix an animal print well with other patterns, it can be combined just as well with other variants of the same pattern. A tried and tested technique is to select two animal patterns of similar size and color. In the photo we can see how two zebra prints and a leopard print in medium brown tones work wonderfully together. They emphasize the charm of this ambience with a stone fireplace and well-designed wooden furniture and floor in a warm shade of brown. A cohesive, earthy aesthetic has been achieved here.

A mix of patterns and colors to admire

Pure eclecticism

When we’re on the subject of colors, we’ll immediately show you how many different colors can work together. In this room you will see a colorful mix of unexpected details. Eye-catching is the flowered sofa upholstery, paired with the green and white print of the curtains and the conventional animal print on the carpet. The whole room looks eclectic thanks to the colorful books on the shelf and the bright yellow coffee table in the middle. Despite any logic, this colorfulness is impressive and leaves no one indifferent, doesn’t it?
