Cow print is the fashion-forward alternative to the stripe trend – how to style the look at home

Living room, white sofa, cow print cushions, dark wooden coffee table, chest of drawers, french doors to conservatory.

There’s one pattern that I'm seeing everywhere right now, and that is cowprint - or more specifically, cowhide. Having already taken the animal print crown from leopard, the trend is not stopping there as it could be ousting stripes as this year’s top home decor trend.

Like most trends, the cowprint resurgence began on the runways with collections by Dior and Roberto Cavalli wowing audiences and trickling down into our wardrobes. Not that cowprint is a new idea, of course. You probably remember it being a huge part of cowboycore styles last year.
