Prints Charming

Trends come and go, but one timeless motif remains a favorite: animal prints! From the luxurious spots of a leopard to the exotic stripes of a zebra, our designers at Semmelmann Interiors love adding a sense of adventure to a space with animal-inspired decor! First things first, let's talk about the elephant in the room: how to incorporate these patterns without taking your guests on a safari ride. Animal prints are not the “mane” attraction but instead should be beautifully displayed as accents. A little goes a long way! A few well-placed pieces, like the cheetah print throw pillows or giraffe print chairs shown here, can transform your space from tame and boring to fun and sophisticated in no time! Using these patterns sparingly and strategically can create a look that's fierce, yet refined. They complement a neutral palette, adding warmth and texture, or they can be used to create a bold, eclectic look when paired with vibrant hues. Whether you prefer a subtle hint or a more daring, statement-making look, walk on the wild side with a zebra print rug and embrace the exotic edge of animal prints!
