FEEL LIKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE?

These faux animal prints add so much fun to a space
take a look at how easy it is to inject a little exotic fun into a room

Dan Marty design here


I love the combination of fabrics and textures in this room
and the faux leopard/cheetah print adds an exotic element without overwhelming

Nature wins the prize on combining spots and stripes
with color and textures
and since I'm an animal lover and so appreciate the beauty of these often endangered species
I'm thrilled there is so much to offer in the way of 'faux' animal skins and prints now.

animal prints add spice to a room
but are best in small doses
they look amazing on rugs, pillows, ottomans,
lampshades, throws and accent chairs
in decorating, animal prints present as a neutral
they will go with nearly any color

Faux zebra is bold and beautiful
great for a graphic pop
it takes center stage in this mostly white room

Hi Claudine,
I recently found your blog through pinterest and you have such stunning ideas in decorating and in paint choices. I was wondering if I could get some help with choosing a paint color for my bedroom. I recently purchased the Pottery barn sienna paisley/ blue duvet cover. It has tans, blues, greens, and white in the color palatte. Right now, my room is painted SW- camel back. I was thinking of a muted grayish blue, but nothing too babyish looking and something that I could live with and not get tired of for awhile. I have black furniture and recently purchased 2 bedside tables that are covered in glass. Could you please recommend any colors that would go nicely in my bedroom? I'm open to anything, muted tans and grays! Thanks so much for your help!

Sincerely,
Alicia
