Animal prints remain bang on-trend and with Autumn/Winter approaching they typically become even more popular.

Using animal prints gives a room a luxury look – but only when it's not OTT!

Using an animal print as your main pattern design you can achieve a luxury look without actually including any real hides or furs.

Animal prints work extremely well with neutral colour schemes. Not only do they work well in safari themes, they can be used to bring pattern and texture to a room.
