Here too, everyone has their own taste. Indeed, there are some who prefer to highlight leopard spots with a free brushstroke on a colored wall, for example. Others are much more captivated by the animal style of decoration with unusual color combinations, or by mixing different animal styles.
Colors to combine and avoid
Several colors pair perfectly with leopard print for a tasteful decor, while others are better avoided for making mistakes... Let's take a closer look together:
✅ Indeed, the colors must adopt a harmonious structure. There must be an alchemy between them, so that you are not forced to create "color clashes". The leo being notably made of brown , black and brown , all brown colors will be perfect alongside it, whether light or dark. Black is also to be remembered. Pastel colors are welcome, white being neutral poses no problem. Red, orange and warm colors in general are ok to associate with our print.
