Animal Prints Are Back in Style

Remember the days when leopard and zebra prints were everywhere – in fashion magazines, wardrobes, and even all around the house? Yep, the bold early 2000s. Back then, the trend felt daring, sometimes even a little over the top. But as we all know, trends are cyclical – and in 2025, animal prints are making a stylish comeback in interior design. Only this time, they feel more refined, elegant, and intentional.

🐆 Leopard, Zebra & Beyond

Today, animal prints are less about shock value and more about tasteful statement. They're returning to interiors as chic accents that add personality and depth. Homes & Gardens and Livingetc have already named animal prints as one of the top interior trends of the year. And it's not just the classics – we're seeing modern interpretations, softer tones, layered textures, and a more curated look overall.

🧵 New Fabric Collection from Saum & Viebahn: Savanna

We’re excited to introduce the Savanna collection from German textile house Saum & Viebahn. It’s a perfect choice for anyone who wants to bring a trendy touch to their interior without overwhelming the space.
Many fabrics in this collection are available in shades close to Pantone’s Color of the Year 2025 – Mocha Mousse (PANTONE 17-1230). This warm, rich brown with coffee and chocolate undertones brings comfort, elegance, and works beautifully with both neutral palettes and bold accents.

💡 How to Use This Trend in Your Interior

If you’re looking to add a bit of boldness to your space – but want to do it with style and balance – animal prints are a great option. Use them in small, impactful ways, like:
  • decorative cushions
  • poufs or accent chairs
  • padded headboards or benches
  • wall panels or upholstered furniture
Let’s be honest – full leopard-print curtains are a big commitment and not for everyone. But as small accents, these prints feel modern and tasteful, adding personality without overpowering the room. And best of all – if you ever want to switch things up, they’re easy to replace.
