How to Incorporate Animal Print Furniture Into Bedroom Designs

Determine which animal print and the style of furniture you are working with. A modern black aluminum chair with a zebra print and a rustic wooden chair with a leopard print are two very different items that can create two very different looks. Bold, modern pieces are suited to a more cutting-edge style of decor while rustic pieces reflect an earthy, natural style.

Use your animal print furniture to create a British colonial-style room. This style is a combination of elegant Victorian design elements, tropical Caribbean and animal motifs. Showcase dark wood furniture with wicker and leather insets and use a color palette of muted browns and light tans. Combine the animal print furniture with one or two different animal prints, display carved elephant or lion figurines, and introduce the Victorian element with an antique mirror and vintage perfume bottles displayed on a dresser.

Go wild with animal prints, while keeping the walls a neutral color, to avoid creating an over-the-top, garish look. Pile animal print cushions and throws on the bed in a range of prints, such as zebra, leopard and tiger. Maintain a neutral feel with the rest of the bedding. Use animal print accessories, such as a mirror with an animal print frame, animal print lampshades and animal print curtains. Accent with black to add depth. In a very large room, an animal print border along the top of the walls is another way to bring more animal magnetism into the room.
