Animal prints: from the catwalks to the home, leopard print is a trend to try
Animal prints never completely disappeared from the interior design scene, but in 2024 they are making a major comeback. Decorative motifs inspired by the patterning of leopard skins are the most popular currently in the world of interior design. Let's take a look at a few examples of how this exotic print is being used these days:
Soft furnishings
Leopard print lends itself perfectly for decorating soft materials, especially those that could easily be clad in (faux) fur. Given this, leopard print will work well for cushion covers, sofa or armchair upholstery or even for bed covers and spreads.
Leopard print blankets: whether they are thick and large for the bed, or just shawls or throws, this bold print will be perfect. And synthetic leopard fur is almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
Even on the tables
The choice of leopard print for use in interior decorating extends to all corners of the home, and you could even choose it for a table runner (preferably placed on top a white or lightly-colored tablecloth).
Glass or ceramics
Even objects made of glass or ceramics - like vases, for example - can look especially attractive if they have leopard print patterning.
A lampshade with character
Imagine having furnishings with leopard print patterning: the lampshade here is good example of one of these furnishings and shows that this design is not "over the top".
An eye-catching armchair
For those who are more daring, chosing leopard print for the upholstery of larger pieces of furniture - such as armchairs, benches and sofas - could be the perfect solution.
Leopard print is always unique
One of the winning features of leopard print is that it can come in many shades, with the mottling ranging from barely visible to ultra-bold. You just need to decide on the look you are trying to achieve.
Bold crockery
You can even find crockery decorated with leopard print patterning these days. Here too, the boldness of the shades used is down to your personal tastes.
Would you like to surprise your guests with an entire table service in matching leopard print patterning?
Leopards as art for the home
And if you prefer leopards themselves (as opposed to just leopard print), leopard-themed artwork can be purchased, like the example shown here. Perfect for decorating your walls!
Or how about a leopard statue to place on the floor, or on a shelf - and coming in many different colours, including metallic tones.
