Hot Animal Prints

For a quick go-with-everything decor update, you just can’t beat a touch of animal print.

Wild safari-inspired prints are turning up everywhere, and Sara Curry of Diva Village has rounded up some hot ones to bring out the animal in you this festive season.
The bold leopard print bath towels and pillar candles, especially, captured my attention.

Of all animal prints, the pretty-kitty leopard is my hands-down favorite — strong but feminine, sexy as anything, and easy to pull together as a decorating theme with a few items like these, below.

All of these leopard-themed treats are available at Amazon, all under $25 each:

• At the top of my must-have list for Out of Africa inspired decor, a tub-side set of Safari tea lights;



• Leopard light switch covers — custom light switch covers are just one of those perfect finishing touches, very affordable but so often overlooked when we’re re-decorating;



• 16-inch Leopard mood light — I love the shape of this lamp, entirely different from the usual, and it could fit with any decor style from Victorian to Urban Hip;



• Metal Bench with Leopard Cushion — and yes, really, this is on sale for under $25, as I said above. Right now, you can get it for 88% off the regular price!
• And ooh, look, a Leopard Skin and Black Padded Toilet Seat! I wonder if I can get that one gift-wrapped…
