Styling Animal Interiors
‘Into the wild’ is a trend that has taken over the interior design world for some time now, and it is something that can suit everyone. Who doesn’t love a bit of nature in their home to help make it feel more relaxing?! Animals in our interiors can not only bring quirkiness to your décor, but also a smile to your face too.
Whether you are thinking of adding a cute animal doorstop to help prop your doors open, or some funky animal wallpaper, there are lots of options to choose from. We all want our homes to be unique and fit our individual styles, and a bit of unexpected interior design is a great way to achieve this.
Zebra Inspiration
For those wanting to add a more subtle touch of pattern to your décor, zebra patterns and ornaments are the way to go. They usually come in quite neutral colours, so they can easily integrate into your current colour theme - great if you want to hold off on the redecorating! Our zebra doorstop is the perfect example, a heavyweight version of our traditional doorstops, designed in grey and black to suit any home.
Alternatively, zebra heads can make quite pretty vases too - pop some bright flowers into a zebra vase and it will look like the zebra is wearing its very own festival headband!
Upgrade Your Wallpaper
If you are committed to adding an animal theme to your home, then wallpaper is a great way to do this. With so many different prints to choose from, you can go bold with flamingos or calmer with woodland scenes. You can even opt for textured wallpaper to create realistic animal skin designs, and with lots of different colour animal wallpaper available there will be something that works perfectly for your home.
Tips For Styling Animal Interiors
When it comes to styling animal interiors, it is important to bear these few tips in mind. Too much animal print and your house will start to look crowded and busy!
- Remember the animal theme doesn’t have to be literal, even just using the patterns/markings from animals creates the same effect.
- Don’t be afraid to mix patterns - floral with zebra stripes actually work really well together.
- Leopard print can be hard to get right, so if you aren’t confident then go for non-traditional colour variations.
- Floral patterns are generally a great contrast against animal interiors.
- Monkeys are on trend at the moment, so add a few monkey-themed pieces of décor to your home for something different.
- Textures work really well - think feathers, fur, wool and velvet. Our patchwork mallard doorstop is a perfect example of this.
