Types of Animal Print Rugs

Leopard & Cheetah Print Rugs

Leopard print remains a timeless way to add pattern without overwhelming a space. Our leopard designs work beautifully as a focal point in living rooms, bedrooms and home offices, pairing naturally with wood furniture and warm, earthy tones. Cheetah patterns offer a subtler, more uniform alternative — smaller spots for a cleaner look.

Zebra Print Rugs

Zebra print rugs are known for their striking black-and-white contrast and graphic appeal. Designs like the African Zebra suit minimalist and modern interiors where a bold monochrome pattern adds definition without introducing extra colour. Zebra designs work particularly well in entryways and living rooms, where a strong pattern helps anchor the room.

Koi, Crane & Japanese-Inspired Rugs

Beyond traditional prints, our collection includes richly illustrated designs inspired by nature and Japanese art. Pieces such as the Sage Koi, Koi Pond and Imperial Crane Garden bring movement, colour and a sense of calm into a space. These make distinctive focal pieces in living and dining rooms, offering an artful alternative to classic animal skin patterns.

Wildlife & Illustrated Animal Rugs

For a more playful or characterful look, our illustrated animal designs feature everything from bears and foxes to ducks and cats. Styles like Beargrove, Mallard Duck and Cat Harmony add warmth and personality, working especially well in bedrooms, kids’ spaces and casual living areas.

Statement & Designer Animal Rugs

For a true centrepiece, larger wildlife-inspired designs make a lasting impression. The Savannah Pride rug, with its intricate leopard-and-grassland scene, anchors open-plan living rooms where a rug is meant to be the focal point of the whole space.

Animal Print Runner Rugs

Animal print also works beautifully in long, narrow formats for hallways, kitchens and entryways. Runners like the Tribal Animal and Koi Fish Runner extend pattern through transitional spaces and help create flow between rooms. Explore more narrow formats in our runner rugs collection.

Styling Animal Print Rugs by Room

Animal-inspired designs settle naturally into different rooms. In living room rugs, a bold print often becomes the piece the rest of the room is arranged around. In bedroom rugs, softer or neutral animal patterns bring warmth without dominating. Beneath a dining table, a larger design like the Monarch Noir holds the space comfortably.
