Animal shapes have been used in home decor since the dawn of time. Their shapes can be fun, hot and timeless. I try to add an animal shape to spaces for a touch of life, character and whimsy. They make fabulous conversation starters, too. Take a look at these spaces, and see if they spark an idea for one of your rooms:
This little monkey is hangin' in there on the corner of a floating shelf. Wallpaper animal shapes would also look cute in a niche or fun corner.

| Magically, these pictures of animals go from realistic to fun and flirty when reproduced in a pink hue. |
You don't need any window coverings or bold color to make this space fun. The iron-finished parade of animals fills the space between the upper and lower windows in a very creative way.
Bold simple animal artwork adds great lines and color and complements the rest of the room.

| Large animal sculptures that look relaxed and comforting are great accessories in a room you want to feel at ease in. |
How fun to use a friendly faux animal head in a little niche. You will always have an audience.

| Moo of this please! A lot more! The cow artwork in a yellow tint feels warm above the fireplace. It increases the coziness of the space. |
Wall murals with animals can tell a lovely story or bring back memories of a past pet.
This is 3-D art and a set of functional hooks in one!
Add cute little animal tiles to a backsplash and it will come to life.
This three-dimensional tile backsplash creates a conversation piece.
