Wild for zebra


I have a thing for zebra print. I think it exudes a sophisticated, funky elegance. And because it is obviously neutral in color, you can pair it with fun colors and really make a room pop, like the above photo. There’s that orange crush again.


If I could find the zebra rug in the photo below I would be one happy girl. It looks so great in this office, but could also work under a coffee table in a living room, under a bed, or under a dining room table. See, zebra rugs are so versatile!


Now while you can pair zebra print with color to make a room really standout, you can also keep things neutral and have a very sophisticated look like the room below. The dark brown and white colors are used throughout the room, and the zebra ottoman is the standout piece.


How fun is this zebra wallpaper? This is definitely for the more whimsical home owner, but if you’re not as crazy as you think, a bathroom is a great place to experiment with an edgier wallpaper.

This zebra rug is on the smaller scale then the one shown above but it still makes a powerful statement. The little pops of color keep this rug the statement piece in the room and I think that it looks amazing.


And if you love the zebra print but are a little weary of working with it on a larger scale you can always have fun with zebra print pillows, like these from West Elm.


Ready to get wild? Have some fun with zebra print - you might be surprised at how much fun you have with it.
