Animal patterns in home decor exude a look is global and primal by nature. Zebra, cheetah, leopard and giraffe prints have always been favorites among trendsetters. This ideabook features some of the best uses of wild-yet-domesticated carpets, from frisky carpet runners to colorful zebra rugs. Browsing through the photos on Houzz, I've seen it all. Join me as I take you for a walk on the wild side.

A leopard-print runner leaves a trail throughout the lower level of the house. Its sprightly pattern adds a touch of the exotic to each of the predominately neutral living spaces.

The layered look of the seagrass rug paired with a sheepskin is a lovely play on textures. The former stands up to high traffic, while the latter's soft, tactile nature is optimal for precious spaces like this nursery.

| The seductive side of sheepskin begs to be touched. It's no surprise these rugs also appear draped across furniture as accent pieces. |
Hear the call of the wild with this ankle-biting rug. It's quite harmless actually, and provides protection from the early morning chill.

Though I've never seen a orange-and-white zebra in the wild, its look has found its rightful place in home decor. Not only does this idea expand our color creativity, it is an animal-friendly option, too. Clever.

I love the second room with the red accents. It's beautiful and the animal print is just enough to take it over the edge.
