Zebra stripes jazz up classic black and white decor.
Zebra print is a bold and fun motif for children's, teen's or adult's rooms. Add other animal prints such as leopard or giraffe to create a safari theme and accent with touches of olive green, burnt orange and khaki. For a more vibrant room, add neon zebra stripes, marabou feathers and hot pink, electric blue and lime-green accents.
Black, White and Striped All Over
Augment traditional black and white decor with zebra-striped throws, pillows, lampshades and other room accessories. For bolder statements, replace a solid-colored comforter or bedspread with a zebra-striped duvet trimmed in black satin and accessorize with zebra print velour curtains tied with black or white curtain sashes. A black headboard and footboard and black bedroom furniture create a modern look for the space, while white furniture is more demure and understated.
Neon Palette
Hot pink, electric blue, lime green and fluorescent orange create an upbeat space that both complements and contrasts black and white zebra stripes. Solid pink or green throw pillows against a zebra print bedspread add splashes of bold color, while blue or orange upholstered chairs accented with zebra pillows, or painted furniture with zebra print pulls, create a multicolored effect that enhances the zebra pattern.
Safari Neutrals
Combine zebra stripes with giraffe or leopard spots for a contrast in patterns that maintains the animal-print theme. Accent with burnt orange, khaki and olive green to recreate the hues of the savanna. A patchwork quilt of animal prints augments a black bed frame, while khaki and olive pillows add to the natural aura. Trim zebra print curtains in burnt orange and accent black bedroom furniture with zebra print knobs or pulls.
Black and White Patterns
Mix zebra print with black and white damask or paisley to create an interesting and eye-catching aesthetic. Maintain simple decor with black or white furniture and linens as well as solid black or white curtains, to focus attention primarily on the different patterns. Throw pillows and accent rugs in either paisley or damask add to the overall decor.
