Animal prints on furniture and accent pieces, like ottomans and pillows, come and go in popularity. They definitely make a strong statement in a room. Right now they are hot! Customers, or their significant others, either love them, hate them or are afraid to use them in their home decor.

Classic Prints Have Been Around A Long Time

Classic animal prints are usually realistic fabric interpretations of animal hides in shades of brown or black, tan or gold and cream. Typically, one thinks of leopard spots or cheetah prints when a designer uses the term 'animal print'.  Examples shown below from left are Century Furniture 61119L27, Clayton Marcus 10590-80, Fabricut Weisbecker Classic and Century Furniture 61122L24.
