Leopard prints instantly transform the look and the feel of the room that they are placed in. Be it a rug or a wall piece or bedding, the vibrant coloring and intricate patterns create an excellent focal point that can lift the mood of the overall décor.
They are exotic, yet rustic. Not to mention that they do well to express your wild side. But shopping for leopard print bedding is far from easy. They are available in tons of colors and styles, some of which are incredibly mundane. Here’s a brief guide that will help you get the best spots for your bed. (No pun intended)
Leopard print bedding need not always draw inspiration from the natural colors or pattern of the leopard (Panthera Pardus). So, if gold and black seems too flashy for your taste, then you’d want to check out muted shades, like the coat of the snow leopard for example. The whitish gray and black combination blends easily with most décor themes.
Clouded leopard prints look surreal with random cloud-shaped patterns and subdued hues of gray and yellow.
Some bedding sets have prints of the leopards themselves, instead of their coats. So, you’d have a full sized leopard with a piercing gaze. Looks absolutely amazing.
You can also customize the bedding by printing a picture of a leopard that you clicked in the wild, for example. Add a hint of shrubbery in the print to create a contrasting effect.
The general consensus about animal prints is that they are more about aesthetics than function. But if its plain uncomfortable to use, then you wouldn’t be using it for too long, would you? Check the material before you buy.
Cotton is the best choice for a busy household. It is easy to clean, is breathable, extremely comfortable, durable and affordable. Ticks all the boxes that one looks for while shopping for bed linen. Having said that, cotton leopard prints tend to fade after a few months of use.
Silk is a more commonly used material for leopard print bedding due to its sheen. It is incredibly soft, prevents static, is hypo-allergenic and keeps you comfortable in both warm and cold weather. The caveat is that authentic silk bedding tends to be pricey. And it is not the easiest of materials to clean. Faux silk is a cheaper alternative that looks like silk.
Some bedding designs also have a microsuede layer to mimic the look of natural fur.
An important thing to consider is print quality. When it comes to animal prints, authenticity is the key. Look for prints that are as close to the real thing as possible. While buying online, check the pictures closely. Steer clear of cheap materials that bleed color or fade with just days of use. It must be machine washable. The last thing you need is to haul a heavy wet comforter to clean it. Check reviews, speak to manufacturers. Do they offer a warranty on the prints?
Always check whether the bedding set includes what you need. If you use blankets, then you’d want one with a top sheet included. Do you have a Divan with an exposed base? You might want a set with a valance or a bed skirt.
