When using more than one animal print, have different scales or they will compete with each other.

Let your imagination run wild with animal prints. According to designer Eric Lysdahl, this stylish trend can really spice up your home decor and he shows how to coordinate pattern and texture to create an earthy, exotic motif:

With all of the options, there is an animal print for every taste, be it daring...

Can tigers, cheetahs and leopards all roam together in one room? Absolutely. Now people are mixing bold animal prints all together so go wild. Lysdahl thinks they're earthy, masculine and timeless.

...or understated as with a simple accessory like this candle.

Take scale into consideration when using animal prints, especially if you're a novice. If you want to just introduce a small amount of it, don't choose a splashy, large-scale pattern when you're not accustomed to it.
