Have Some Decorum: A little leopard goes a long way…

I love love love using leopard print. Nothing new. People have been using leopard print forever. It is not a fad. Here’s the thing though, you can only use a little bit of leopard. This design rule reminds me of my favorite decorating phrase, “There is a fine line between Baroque and Persian.” It’s true. Leopard can go bad very very quickly. One must use restraint. Leopard print is chic, sophisticated and classic but just a little bit for God’s sake. Regarding interior design and leopard print… You can only really have one bit of leopard in your house. Regarding fashion and leopard print … You can only really have one bit of leopard on your body. It’s best to use leopard print as an accessory… A shoe, a pillow, a hat, a belt, a chair… Nothing too ostentatious. Pay attention because there will be a quiz later. First let’s look at some good examples of the use of leopard print and then after, because it’s fun, let’s look at some crappy leopard print examples.
