      A little goes a long way, but that's their beauty. I have 2 small zebra pillows on my sofa, along with some others. They make the whole thing pop. But anymore would be like putting exclamation points at the end of every sentence!! Don't you agree?!!

      How wonderful for you, I installed a Scalamandre wallpaper on the walls of a vanity room recently, a gold background with black and white Zebra's, the client's absolutely loved the effect. Will have to dig out the pics :)

      I can see where it could be used, maybe in a teenager's room, or as AVS mentioned, in a powder room.

      Personally, not my style, but I can see it in certain situations.

      As with most things if done right it can be beautiful, if done wrong it can be overwhelming.

      Yes I do love animal prints, but will only use it sparingly in an interior space . . . Area rug, throw pillows, or a bedspread. Nothing more.

      It depends on what others colors you have in your house.

      see how this small black and white animal pillow print keeps this room from being flat.
      it makes the room come alive!

      Animal print doesn't really match my personality so I don't use it, but if it matches the personality of the person, why the heck not? I say let your personality show in your house. Do you want people to think they've walked into any generic house or that they've walked into YOUR house? I love the example shown in the article with the orange/red wall. Also, the bathroom wallpaper and the cheetah stairs are fab too. I always like to see people who aren't afraid to express themselves.

      I like the zebra probably because it's black and white.

      Gawd, no! I really do not like it. I also don't like flower prints too much either, so there you go! I prefer solid colours. Just me!

      if you want to have a animal's printing, how about using interior goods; cushions,carpets,framework on the wall.
    • jewicker

      There's probably a tasteful way to make this pattern work on every wall in a room without making it look like over-kill, but I haven't yet found it.
    • mabhe

      Again in small amounts, such as pics shown of cushions. The only animal print I actually like and would use is zebra print.
    • backsplashideas

      As accents and when it goes well in a particular room, animal prints can work wonderfully!

      Fabulous! Love those cheetah stairs and that powder bath pictured above! As with any bold print, it must be used correctly.
      Don't want to end up with "Walmart Safari".....

      yes yes yes ....depends also on the type of print and the neutral blends

      No. I made a vow never to work with wallpaper again...hate the stuff! As a perfectionist, it took 16 hours to hang correctly, and get it done.

      The cheetah stairway runner is kind of cute.

      Animal print tiles have been popular for bathrooms, feature walls or framing them and used as works of art. Our animal print tiles are hand - painted and various animal prints can be purchased such as zebra, giraffe, leopard and tiger, they are a 400mm x 400mm tile.

      Too crowded if animal printing on house.
    • marjie1059
      vor 9 Jahren
      anne dee, my opinion is that the zebra pillow is out of place in that room. It doesn't keep the room from looking "flat", but makes me go, "huh? Why is that pillow there?"
      I think it would make more sense to have accent pillows that use the colors of the orchids and/or the vivid green in the art pieces. Either of those colors would blend with and complement the rest of the room.
    • auntiebuzzybee

      Yes but absolutely NOT if anything real. That belongs to the animal and beauty in nature. No to skins, ivory, heads, taxidermy,...just take photos and teach. Preserve.

      Just pictures of animals wearing their own prints.

      I wonder how long this (these) poll runs. It's been revived in the last thirty days : / ?
    • ladyrob1

      Big White Hunter syndrome inspired animal prints? Horrible! Sexy animal instinct clothes on women? Horrible! Unless a beautiful print depicting the animal free in the wild...and with ALI = "pictures of animals wearing their own prints!"
      Do not understand what sentiment inspires those who would if they could, have animal skins in their decor...some poor creature would have had to die to satisfy their vanity! What's the attraction even with prints and fabrics...some sense of power or attraction?
      A definite NO from me.

      Not sure what animals could climb up walls to leave prints, but I wouldn't like it.

      I once painted my fridge in zebra stripes. It didnt stay that way for long. I was young.

      @ chookchook2 Very funny play on words! What about some of those lizards with suction caps on their feet...or frogs...although not mammals, still animals, they walk up vertical surfaces...and...just to make this light...in Charleville, Far Nth Qld. big green frogs live under the rims of toilets and.....yep, I screamed my lungs out when a couple attached themselves to my bare behind! I was the brunt of jokes at the pub for weeks!
      @ Luke Buckle....still copies of animal skins...what is it with people who need to have what I regard as a "trophy of the kill" on their wall or wear the skin...even if its imitation? Crocodile skin shoes? UGH. Fake Lepoard skin trim on boots...double UGH...Graphics of animal skins to stick on things? Still don't like the idea. Have a friend here at present...she likes the patterns and has a leopard skin patterned dress and a pair of boots.....I asked her what the attraction was....just the pattern, she loves animals, especially cats...but still there's this hunter thing....don't get it but each to his/her own. Glad I'm not married to a man who loves animal kill trophies..couldn't stand it. But then...I buy only leather shoes and I eat meat and love leather upholstered furniture...where do I think that comes from? MMMM Tis a puzzlement! Could never come at a real animal skin on the floor...but I like my lambswool underlay and my wooly sheepskin mat????? Double standard hypocrit? Pot calling the kettle?
