I am sure you have all noticed the animal trend in clothing at the moment. Knits with sequined motifs of foxes or owls, pony haired shoes, zebra and giraffe print bags and boots, and of course leopard print everything.
Well have you also noticed this trend has infiltrated interiors as well? Cushions and prints with animal motifs, moose and deer head faux taxidermy, sheep sculls, deer antlers, zebra and cow hide rugs, faux fur cushions and rugs, bird ornaments and lots and lots of flamingos!
As I have shown here there are so many ways to use the animal influence. Antlers on a wall, a zebra print rug or a soft faux fur cushion add an element of interest to a sophisticated space.
If you’re not one to take life too seriously, an animal motif on a print or cushion, or a flamingo lamp could be just the piece to give your space an element of whimsy!
There are so many options available, for example, a deer head in it’s natural form will appear more sophisticated and masculine, however a brightly coloured one will add a more feminine touch.
Nat and I over at Defined Image have had a ball specifying animal influenced elements into our clients spaces, I hope this inspires you to do the same!
