If you know me personally, you’ll know I love a bit of Animal Print. In fact, I’ve often told myself that I’m not allowed to purchase anything animal print based for 6 months. Showcasing some lovely Leopard Print wallpaper doesn’t count, right?!
There’s a lot of Animal Print around again for the upcoming Autumn/Winter season and I’ve fallen a little bit in love with this offering from Next. I know it’s very ‘Bet Lynch’ but put with the right accessories it could look super stylish and very glamorous. Take the glass mirrored chest from the image above and it starts to feel sophisticated and not at all cheap. Pop it on a statement wall in your bedroom for some sexy glamour, or if you’re feeling a little daring, use it to decorate your downstairs loo!
Keep the accessories and furniture simple, streamlined and classic. Don’t cheapen the look at all if you can help it. Beautiful neutrals and subtle golds will really give this wallpaper an elegant look. Take a look at this Kylie at Home bedding (again from Next) and see how glamorous it can look with the Animal Print paper.
Next Leopard Print wallpaper sells for just £15 a roll and although I haven’t used it myself I have used their paints and can vouch for their quality and good value.

Probably more than any other wallpaper, this can look classy or tacky depending on where it is used and how much. In the bedroom image above it looks great. Definitely a case of less is more.

Couldn’t agree more Richard!
I love those pictures. In our house it is a constant struggle to not fill every available surface with animal print. I think we are losing the battle, though.
