Sustainable style is on trend with animal-friendly prints, patterns and shapes.

Animal motifs have long been incorporated into interior design, from furs and taxidermy to wildlife prints and patterns. Once considered a symbol of wealth and status, real pelts were highly sought after by the world’s most fashionable homeowners. These exotic accents remain popular today, with their graphic forms and prints lending an element of sophistication, energy or fantasy. But, over the past century, advancements in technology and manufacturing have virtually eliminated the use of genuine wildlife products in favor of high-quality replicas that can fool the eye and touch.

To celebrate the diversity of species around the globe and raise awareness for their protection, the United National General Assembly proclaimed March 3 as World Wildlife Day. You can honor these noble creatures by incorporating their beauty and spirit into your home with a selection of cruelty-free furnishings and accessories.
