How to Use Animal Print without Creating a Jungle

Who doesn't love a good animal print? Although, sometimes it is easy to go a little overboard. These design tips will show you how to incorporate your favorite pattern, without bringing the Amazon home.

Use textures on unexpected pieces.

For an edgier feel, incorporate reptile prints, like this Regina Andrews lamp.
