One question I get asked a lot is how much longer will animal print be popular, this is usually asked by people wanting to use some animal print in their homes but they’re afraid it will become unpopular.
Well folks, it’s not going anywhere, animal print is here to stay.
For many people in the past animal print was only used or worn by people with questionable tastes or reputations, but today it’s available in all textures and colors, on a ton of products and at all price levels.

Today and tomorrow we will be looking at using animal prints in our lives. Today we will focus on animal print in our homes and come back tomorrow when we look at animal print in our wardrobes.

Animal print wallpaper is also available, some are a little to “wild” for my tastes but I do like them in a subtle color palette

Of course you can always get a little wild with lamp shades, accessories and bath towels
I hit the streets the other day and took pics of different animal print fabrics in a variety of color choices, here’s just a few.
Do you have any animal print in your home? If so, how have you used it? Would love to hear your comments.
