You don’t have to travel far to stumble across the revamp of an animal print pattern. This steadfast 90’s trend is showing up as everything from subtle, neutral tones to wild, vibrant patterns. Travel and escapism are prominent themes in our minds this year so, naturally, it’s been reflected in animal print design, fashion, and home decor. Gone are the days of sweatpants at home and in are the days of going out in eccentric, chic style.
Not only are we seeing this classic take on leopard and zebra print but there’s a new twist of vibrant-colored, abstract patterns of greens, purples, and pinks. Whichever aesthetic suits your design needs, animal print can be a surefire way to dazzle up any project.
This versatile trend can be categorized across various moodboards along with corresponding products from our own talented Creative Market designers. These themes are Safari Minimalism, Galactic Animal, Classic Print, and Whimsical Zoo.
