Displaying your love for animals:

For many homeowners their favorite animals are from mascots of their favorite athletic team, or from childhood memories of your family pet, animals in three-dimensional forms or even in printed wall art are wonderful ways to bring in your animals into your home decor.

Subtle animal decor:

Why not add animals in your bedding, textiles, wall art and accessories? You will be surprised how many artists have gorgeous artwork with every animal that walks the earth. Try to find animals that resonate with your personality and your family’s lifestyle. Cute and cuddly animals like koala, panda and polar bears work well in children’s room decor while strong animals such as lions, tigers, and bears work better in masculine and strong interiors. Choose artwork that brings out the colors of your surrounding interiors and contains images that will highlight the spirit of your home.  In nurseries and children’s playrooms, home offices, and also recreation rooms and living rooms are perfect areas to display your wild side!
