When it comes to embracing a #beyondthebeige approach to decorating, animal prints play an important role. They can be both loud and subtle, colorful and neutral. Sometimes, they’re the focal point of a room, and other times, they’re chic background noise.\u00a0Leopard<\/a>\u00a0is arguably the most noteworthy of the bunch, so we’ve rounded up our favorite interiors that incorporate the spotted statement.<\/p>\n

FEMININE AND FIERCE<\/h3>\n

For this New York jewel box, interior designer Patrick McGrath sourced a leopard sofa from gallerist Michael Bargo. We love how the vintage floral rug and sumptuous velvet pillows give the room a playful femininity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

GOING GREEN<\/h3>\n

We are obsessed with animal prints in unexpected colorways. In this London home, designer Beata Heuman opted for a striking green leopard print. The bold fabric feels fresh against the modern geometry of the floors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

FABULOUS AMONG NEUTRALS<\/h3>\n

Here, leopard takes a moment to shine against a carefully selected palette of textured neutrals. On\u00a0an ottoman<\/a>, the print ties the room and its materials\u2014leathers, wovens, and velvets\u2014together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

When paired with our\u00a0Banana Palm Wallpaper<\/a>, leopard feels like a glamorous nod to Old Hollywood. Here, the fabric rests on\u00a0a pair of Cube Ottomans<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“Pattern on pattern” is one of our favorite phrases, especially when it refers to an elegant leopard space like this one. Take a page out of this designer’s playbook and create a stylish\u00a0gallery wall<\/a>; it breaks up the pattern repetition, so guests don’t feel overloaded with print.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A FRESH TAKE<\/h3>\n

The great thing about leopard: you can source it for most surfaces in varying shapes and sizes. A subtle leopard rug offers the perfect backdrop for this space’s boldest elements: a\u00a0Canary Velvet Bench<\/a>\u00a0and a poppy\u00a0Lanai Pillow<\/a>\u00a0in mandarin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

COZY AND CONSIDERED<\/h3>\n

Animal print radiates warmth. Here, Ken Fulk uses leopard to create a cozy (and ultra-chic) escape. The rich caramel and brown tones of leopard print will make any space feel all the more inviting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A WHIMSICAL APPROACH<\/h3>\n

In the home of interior designer Rachel Chudley, color and whimsy reign supreme. Her leopard print sofa features an abstract interpretation of the print, which brings us to our next point: closely study the marks and color values of the leopard you’re considering. Some offer a more literal interpretation of the animal’s beauty, while others approach the spots with a loose brushstroke.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
