This past year we saw a complete leopard print takeover in both the world of fashion and in interior design. Then there is of course tortoiseshell, and you can't forget the cow print craze, but as we enter into 2025 there appears to be a new animal print that has caught the attention of the design world: zebra.
I know what you may be thinking; zebra print in the home conjures images of maximalist overload. But when done well, this latest pattern trend can be playful as well as stylish. Interior designer and architect at Coates Design Architects and Interiors, Matthew Coates, says "Zebra print is risky — in a good way! It strikes the perfect balance between bold and timeless. You can really make a statement with zebra print."
