Skin Is In

Animal skin, that is! Animal print fabrics, rugs and upholstery are as popular as ever these days, but beware-- Animal prints can either look really fabulous, or really tacky. You have to make sure it's incorporated into your space the right way if it's going to look as great as possible. If you're using a lot of animal print in a room, try to keep the scheme of the rest of the room relatively simple; and if you do have a complex scheme of colors and patterns, using animal print minimally as small accents works best.

Here are just a few examples of our many successes in using animal prints in our clients' homes.
Did we mention that some of these pictures are at least 7 years old?? For this entry, we dug into Robin's archive to show you all just how timeless her design work really is (and how animal print, done right, is timeless too!).

Notice how the small animal print accents in the 2 rooms above coordinate perfectly with all the other colors and patterns used.

This beautiful fur throw (above) adds a point of interest to this mostly neutral room without being too distracting from the clean and simple beauty of the space.

Too much animal print next to a bold color can be visually dizzying, but as you can see in the photo above, these small cushions are a perfect touch next to the rich red walls.

So fear not the animal print, for here at Robin Pelissier's Interior Design Studio, we can help you use animal print to make any room in your house classy and chic =)
