How to choose the right animal print & faux fur fabric

The right fabric depends on how you plan to use it, the traffic it will handle, and the look you're going for. Here's what to consider before choosing:

• Use case: Go with heavy-duty, high rub-count fabrics for upholstery and lighter options for decorative accents.
• Texture: Choose plush faux fur for coziness or flatter textures for a sleek, modern finish.
• Color scheme: Neutrals like black, gray, and taupe offer flexibility, while bold colors add attitude.
• Room size: Use small-scale animal patterns in tight spaces, larger dramatic prints in open rooms.
• Style match: These fabrics pair well with rustic, glam, modern, or eclectic interiors. Combine with floral fabrics for an interesting contrast.
