Leopard print is back! We’ve seen this fun print creep back into fashion and we have no doubt it’s also set to dress our homes this Autumn.
Senior Product Manager at Hillarys, Yvonne Keal, shares five ways you can subtly walk on the wild side and style this print inside:
Go sophisticated
They say a leopard never changes its spots and we wouldn’t want it to! Although it can be a loud pattern, leopard print doesn’t have to overwhelm a room. You can transform a space by simply swapping your cushions. For a classy addition to your living space why not bring in some funky soft furnishings, perfectly complementing plain sofas.
Pair with neutrals
The brown tones in the print mean it can be used to compliment neutral colours for a more classy finish. Using leopard print bed covers in a child’s room accompanied with beige walls can create a contemporary safari-themed area for rest and play.
Introduce into your home office
Embracing this big cat print in the sanctuary of your home office doesn’t have to be scary. A home office is in fact the perfect place to experiment with patterns and infuse the animal instinct into your home and this can be done simply by incorporating a printed window dressing or rug.
Create a focal point
Wow your guests as they enter your home by using leopard print wallpaper to create a focal wall in your hallway. For slim halls, placing a mirror on your feature wall will bounce around any natural light giving the appearance of a larger space.
Combine with wood
Natural elements like wood help create a calming interior space, imitating the soothing feel we get when we connect with nature. Calming shades of mineral, blush and pistachio can combine with larger sensory textures like leopard print to engage your senses and boost your mood.
