If your bedroom is so dreary it keeps you awake at night, maybe what your decor needs is a little wild energy. Why not try replacing your tired-out bedspread with a zebra print comforter? The key to using such decorating touches effectively is to remember than in many cases, a few stripes can go a long way.
That said, a zebra print comfort can make a bold style statement. It says you’re someone who’s not afraid to take a little risk, who likes classic color combinations such as black and white and who’s willing to walk on the wild side once in a while. These days, comforters in animal prints can evoke a sense of environmental concern, using an animal print in place of an actual animal skin as previous generations might have. Talk about bringing the wilderness to life!
Zebra Print Comforters Define Style
A zebra print comforter is sure to become an instant centerpiece in any bedroom. Using the comforter as a decor anchor, it becomes possible to play with combinations of colors, furniture and accents that complement the focal point of the bedroom. These could be a few other zebra prints – just a few! – in pillows or drapes. Or it could be using the black and white pattern as a basis for a bold color scheme accented with reds, pinks or even purples.
When using a zebra print comforter for the bedroom’s focal point, it becomes necessary to make some other decorating adjustments. For instance, if the bedroom is currently lush with Victorian florals and white wicker furniture, throwing any animal print comforter on the bed will simply look out of place. Substitute those florals and that wicker for some solid-colored fabrics and simple furniture and things take on a while new appearance.
Paint is always the best place to start when redecorating, if only because paint is the cheapest redo you can do. Perhaps a neutral color scheme in the bedroom seems the most restful to you. Then you can start with a brown or tan zebra print comforter – yes, they do exist – and tailor your paint palette to the pastel earth tones of the Serengeti, where the real zebras live. Or maybe you’ve had enough of neutrals and want a bold new environment. Then by all means paint the walls white and choose the traditional black and white zebra pattern for your comforter, then jazz it up with bold red pillows and some brass accessories. These are only two examples of the almost countless possibilities you can try, using a zebra print comforter as the bedroom’s focal point.
These zany comforters aren’t limited to adult bedroom decor, either. There are comforters for day beds in the guest room but the real fun today is in the many comforter styles available for children, from crib sets all the way up to early teens. Imagine how your little girl’s bedroom will look with a hot pink zebra print comforter, complemented perhaps by some hot pink curtains and a zebra print valance. Purple and turquoise are also among the fun colors available for these quirky comforters that will delight a daughter’s decor. She is sure to snuggle down and sleep under a zebra print comforter.
