Animal
prints add a sense of adventure, fun and personality to any space in
your home. "Animal prints add texture to a room," says Sarah
Steltenpohl, an interior designer at Swan Interiors in Wauwatosa.
"There’s an element of surprise; you’re not just playing it
safe. And skins are a double whammy, as they have texture and pattern
so they are pleasing to both the touch and the eye."
Steltenpohl also says animal prints are
personal. "Pick the pattern you like the most. The rooms you love
are always the ones that take you a little bit further."
Today’s faux animal skins are available in
infinite patterns and colors and can be used on nearly any type of
furnishing or accessory.
