Leopard Print Home Accessories Might Be Our Favourite Shock Interiors Trend Of The Year

From a tart’s boudoir to Bet Lynch’s wardrobe, leopard print often gets a bad rep. But with its return coming in at full pelt in the fashion realm, it’s only a matter of time before it hits our homes too. We’re well aware this is going to be a divisive one, but trust us, leopard can look cool, eclectic, chic even. Scroll to shop our edit of fierce leopard print home accessories sure to put some sass into a room.
There are two ways to go about the leopard print home trend. Firstly, go big and bold with layers of leopard paired against ostentatious gold detailing, chintzy fringing, plush velvets and opulent jewel tones. Think of a room that Keith Richards wouldn’t look out of place in, and you’re halfway there. On the flip side – and perhaps the lesser Marmite of the two – is to use leopard as an accent. Whether that’s some plump leopard cushions against a mustard sofa, playful placemats on your dinner party tablescape, or a killer chair that takes centre stage of a room.
If your interiors aesthetic sits in the braver first camp, home brand House of Hackney is a must-visit. Their Wild Card collection has created the perfect, vintage-feel, lived-in leopard print and iterated it into cushions, stools, sofas, lighting and more. It’s expensive, but if leopard is a print that has always sung to you and you want to carry that through into your home, House of Hackney is well work the investment.
If you’re in the market for smaller ticket items, check out H&M for their current sweet and affordable selection of leopard print crockery; Anthropologie for quirky bath mats and rugs; and Anna + Nina for their cute leopard print dinner candles – also a great gift for a style loving hostess.
Leopard also has an innate retro feel about it and plays perfectly into one of SS24’s hottest fashion and interiors trends, chocolate brown. It gives a rich opulence to a room with very little work and a quirky charm that other prints don’t tend to offer. At its heart there is also a rock ‘n’ roll edge to leopard. It’s unexpected, it’s daring and it demands attention. Whilst we love it in a living room, it does lean into more playful spaces in the home, too. A dressing room, for example – just take a look at Erica Davies’ joyfully pink walk-in wardrobe complete with leopard print carpet – or House of Hackney’s striking leopard print runner which brings personality by the bucketload to a stairway.
