Vivacious and primitive, leopard print is nothing new, but it continues to defy traditional patterns found in home furnishings and accessories. The animal itself symbolizes bravery, courage, stealth and strength, and I believe a decorator who uses this pattern also possesses those same qualities. Its connotations range from playful to luxurious, and its attention-grabbing pattern enhances any decor style.
This ideabook contains a mixed bag of decorating styles. Each space conjures a different mood and offers inspiration for those who have ever been intimidated by the power of such a vivacious print.
