Whetting a taste for the exotic, animal prints swathe accents with a fierce dose of fabulousness. Whether it's leopard, cheetah, zebra or cowhide, these motifs effortlessly breathe modernity into chests, chairs, ottomans and shelves with flair to spare. In addition to striking patterning in chocolate and tan or black and white, irresistible texture weighs in, crowning these designs regal in the kingdom of decor. — LINDSEY STRADER
