Animal print used to be the sort of statement design choice that would divide people or at least require a certain amount of bravery to pull off. Nowadays it’s a different story. Animal prints can be playful and bold or surprisingly subtle and timeless – it’s all about how you use them. We’re ready to show you just how versatile nature-inspired prints and textiles can be.
Colour is key to choosing the right print. If an orange-and-black colourway feels like a step too far, monochrome animal print is a much easier take on the trend.
In this dining area, the bold leopard print Roller blind is balanced out by the graphic artwork and colour-pop accessories. The white walls, light wood floor and leafy plants keep it feeling fresh and modern.
There’s no shame in embracing the kitschy, retro aesthetic. In this dreamy dressing room, the limited colour palette keeps things refined. Dusky pink walls provide a sophisticated backdrop for monochrome leopard print, while the disco balls add a touch of tongue-in-cheek glamour. We see this working equally well in a teen bedroom.
At the other end of the spectrum, not all animal print has to make a statement.
This Roller blind would look beautiful in a Scandi-style bedroom or nursery – the soft, muted tones add subtle personality without dominating the space. Style with neutral colours and cosy textures for a room that feels calm and considered.
“I’ve always been drawn to interiors that are a little bit more ‘out there’, but I think it can be really hard to strike the balance between something interesting that's also still calm and cosy enough to live in.”

The rich, textured look of animal print fabric works beautifully with mid-century-style interiors – think warm woods, olive-green textiles and trailing houseplants.
The Tottenham Dalmatian design from our collection with Poodle & Blonde is another easy way to bring animal print fabric into your home. With its earthy browns and abstract brushstroke print, it's a looser, more relaxed alternative to bold graphic prints.
If animal print still feels like a step too far, it’s worth exploring other ways to take inspiration from the natural world.
Take the Arts and Crafts movement, with its birds, botanicals and intricate repeat patterns. William Morris’s classic wildlife prints, including Strawberry Thief, are a more traditional way to bring whimsy and charm into your home.
“Hillarys x William Morris patterns range from bold and busy, to subtle and calm – ensuring there's a colour and pattern for every space.”
