When designing, it is so easy to be consumed by lines, colors, shapes, patterns and textures. There are activities that bring about inspiration such as riding in a car and staring out of the windows. In there, with the right inspiration, you tend to notice the skyline, structural shapes, even simple things such as the reflection of the sun. So, if you\u2019re lacking the inspiration at the moment, why not try exceptional elements for a change?<\/p>\n

Back in the day, men and women used the skins of animals for protection and warmth. Are you going back to this primitive past when you decide to use animal prints in your home?<\/p>\n

Animal Print: A Look Back in Time <\/strong><\/p>\n

Throughout history, monarchs and nobles have already used animal prints on their rugs and carpets. This was a status symbol just as much as animals were mounted as trophies.<\/p>\n

Animal print has an enigmatic look that offers the look of aristocracy, power as well as success. This is the ancient sign of power and wealth \u2013 keep that in mind. Just picture the tribal chieftains with their wooden thrones \u2013 what do you see draped over those seats of power?<\/p>\n

You\u2019re correct to say \u2013 animal prints.<\/p>\n

In the \u201840s, there was a noticeable advent of the animal print in the world of fashion. Women\u2019s movements were emerging then and so was the look that spelled supremacy. Cheetah print was huge back then.<\/p>\n

A decade later, in the \u201850s, Christian Dior became fascinated with the leopard print. So the cheetah print faded into the background and leopard print went right smack onto the center stage. No woman was considered fashionable without a single leopard print in her wardrobe.<\/p>\n

In the \u201860s, a totally new revolution came up with the hippies taking over the world of fashion. Back then, exotic animal fur patterns became the big thing. Women\u2019s apparel showed the most rebellious colors. The ongoing concept was to become an easy rider<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The perilous side of animal print was shown in the \u201870s. The punk movement brought back the leopard prints in accessories. Another in<\/em> thing was the use of torn cheetah print pair of stockings. It was definitely fashionable to listen to rebellious music.<\/p>\n

Still in the \u201870s, nightgowns were also infused with interesting animal prints, so were the undies, jumpsuits, and bell bottoms. Zebra prints were seen on platform shoes.<\/p>\n

The \u201880s still showed the dominance of animal prints though we would rather forget the fashion statements during that time.<\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s see how you can use animal prints in your home \u2013<\/p>\n

Stripes Galore <\/strong><\/p>\n

The zebra stripes rug is the ultimate addition to a mainly neutral home. The lines of the zebra print inevitably draw the eyes toward the fusion of colors. Place a lovely desk and a carefully chosen piece of art to complete the look for your living room or home office.<\/p>\n

Print Pairing <\/strong><\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t decide whether to have zebra, cheetah or leopard print, well, you\u2019re not alone. Try to pair different prints but within the same color palette. This is so the place will still have a cohesive look.<\/p>\n

Find a tiger rug, some cowhide ottomans then have zebra pillows for your living room. Mix a tinge of orange, brown and tan to add some interesting contrast.<\/p>\n
