Animal Print:

 

Brunschwig & Fils Tiger and Leopard Velvet

 Brunschwig & Fils first introduced the iconic leopard and tiger silk velvets in 1956, they have never been out of production! Proving the timeless nature of this design.

Animal Print is very popular at the moment, dare I say trendy. If you can add it in the right way, I believe every home can use a little animal print (my favorite is leopard) and therefor it will not be trendy. Mary McDonald's room being the exception here (most people cannot pull that off!) animal print can be very minimalistic or add to the eclecticism of a room. Either way, I think it's a great, classic touch!
