Understated Zebra Print
Posted: May 7, 2012 Filed under: Accessories for the Home, Interior Decorating, Interior Design, Interiors | Tags: animal print interior design, blue zebra rug, grey zebra fabric 9 Comments »Although I love animal print, I typically steer clear of using it in my own home because it can be a bit conspicuous for my taste… I have been trying to figure ways to use animal prints in a more understated manner and I believe I found a few solutions. I love this zebra print pattern I keep seeing in muted colors, especially when its used with traditional pieces of furniture.
Do you prefer a muted animal print or would you opt for the bolder, more traditional animal print?

In terms of appearance, this fabric is just about as realistic as you can get. Its color and pattern are almost identical to that of real leopards and tigers. Seeing this luxurious fabric makes me think that even the most classic interiors can handle a touch (or more) of animal inspiration.
