Animal prints in home decor, yea or nay?

Just a poll, no judgements or arguments about it, and no right or wrong answer.

 

I do think they come and go (like all fashion and decor) but seem to have been back 'in' for quite some time now.

 

For me, nay.

Well, I've always liked the look of an aloof cat draped across the arm of a sofa to be appealingCat LOL

I think a small accent or two, in animal print, look great in the right place.  My home is mainly traditional, with some transitional pieces thrown in.  During the winter months, I bring out a faux leopard throw that I place across the arm of one of my living room chairs.

 

I like it.  It's a nice, interesting change.  When my daughter got married, I removed it from the chair when the photographer was taking the pictures, and he asked that I put it back.  The pictures were lovely.

 

So, I say "yay" on one or two accent pieces.  "Nay" on a whole room or house full, lol.

Somehow it just doesn't seem to go with my Southwest decor.

Yay, but only in the bathroom. I have a porcupine print toilet seat.

I like animal print with some types of furniture but I think a little goes a long way.  It doesn't work in my home though.  We do have a live animal running around in here, a Yorkie.  :-)

I can't help but have animal print - the hound dogs leave them everywhere!  But really, I could see an accent pillow here or there.  I'm certainly not opposed to it.  Patterns of all sorts, I find pretty.
