See what I mean about eclectic? I’m loving this giraffe print sofa and chair, which looks great against the purple rug and tiled table. It *shouldn’t* work, yet it does, and that’s where the magic lies.  If you’re a great designer you can pull off mixing patterns and textures like these without any drama. It’s also a look that’s easy to replicate in your own home; but exercise caution.  Lindens don’t come cheap. Make sure that this kind of styling will suit your home to a ‘T’ before you splash out; it works best in contemporary styled builds BUT also looks great in more traditional wooden abodes. Always take your cue from the store display and if you’re not sure what would work best in your home, why not ask the designer to offer advice and styling tips?
