Blondie's Debbie Harry Proves an Unexpected Splash of Animal Print is The Chicest Way to Jolt Electricity Into a White Kitchen

From printed cushions to lampshades to blankets, zebra is having its moment in the sun in 2026. At the same time, homeowners are looking for new ways to add interest to their 'boring white' kitchens in the age of dopamine decorating. So, why not combine the two?

Her black-and-white rug, zebra-print rug to the right of the kitchen island, adds dimension, style, and texture to the otherwise simple room. If you're looking for a stylish accent piece for your kitchen, a zebra print rug (like this washable one from Amazon) might be exactly what you're looking for.
