FARMYARD FABRICS FOR COUNTRY STYLE
Animal fabric is an ideal choice for a country style kitchen. With farmyard prints, such as Sophie Allport’s classic designs, you can bring a quirky style to your curtains, blinds or cushions. Or for a simple style update, use a PVC animal print for a wipe-clean tablecloth.
To complement your animal print fabric, look for country style accessories, such as enamel jugs brimming with fresh flowers or fruit and veg piled into wicker baskets. Industrial-style lighting and old metal stools will bring the scheme bang up to date, too.
ENLIVEN YOUR CHILD’S BEDROOM WITH ANIMAL MAGIC
All children love animals, so choosing your child’s favourite animal print fabric is sure to be a hit. With fabrics depicting everything from horses, dogs and cats to elephants, owls and dinosaurs, you’re sure to find something they’ll love.
For a stylish nursery scheme, why not try a woodland animal fabric? Choose a colour from the fabric for the walls, teamed with a neutral carpet, for a scheme that’s subtle and unisex too.
SAFARI PRINTS FOR CLASSIC COLONIAL STYLE
Safari-style prints that appear to have come straight from an artist’s notebook are right on trend. For a modern colonial feel, team with pale wood shutters, woollen throws and a checked upholstery fabric on a statement chair.
ACCESSORISE FOR A STYLISH STUDY
If you’re not looking to completely redo your scheme, you could add a few animal print cushions for a quick style update. My favourite design of the moment is Elephants Clarke fabric in Spice. With its bright colours and fun print, it would look great made into cushions.
Offices can often be lacking in personality, but can be easily updated. Fabric cushions depicting stags or game birds would be ideal to complement an armchair in a tartan upholstery fabric and a dark wood desk.
