• The walls, floor and ceiling should be in harmony with the animal print, soothe the overall picture. Therefore, it is better to stay on matte or satin monochromatic textures. Wooden floors will fit well.
• Furniture as far as possible should not be complex forms and interrupt the accents.
• It is better to do without interior items with a lacquered or metallized texture.

• Do not use too contrasting combinations. For example, if you stop at a reptile's skin with a classic chocolate color, and the rest of the walls are in scarlet or bright green, it may look dull and tired.
• Two different prints of leather wallpaper in the same room is also a bad decision.

If you are not ready to spend an impressive amount of money on finishing, give preference to vinyl, non-woven or high-quality paper wallpaper. Thin cellulose coatings and pasting film should not even be considered. Non-woven and paper covers can be used in any room. And vinyl is better to leave for the kitchen, living room and hallway.
