The Year of the Snake

officially began on February 10th

as 

 

In the Chinese zodiac, the snake represents mystery and passion

which made me start thinking…

 

In the world of interior design, snakeskins, 

and all other forms of animal patterns for that matter

play a pretty significant role.

And like the traits associated with the snake,

animal prints also evoke a sense of mystery and passion in a room.

 

They are integral to the layering process, 

whether expressed in small details like this great zebra cocktail ottoman

 

or
as the main focal point.

The possibilities are endless.  Skins work beautifully on their own
but also as a complement to other coverings like this luscious red leather.

I’m hard pressed to think of a surface that doesn’t benefit from
the beautiful patterning of animal skins…

so embrace the YEAR OF THE SNAKE
with your own touch of the exotic!

and as always –

"EMBRACE THE JOYS OF GOOD DESIGN!"
