Mo(o)ve over, leopard: This animal print is trending worldwide

Interior design brand Hovia reveals the favourite print of young British adults.

Animal prints such as leopard or zebra print have been a staple in fashion and interiors for decades. 

In the 18th and 19th century, leopard print items used to ‘signify wealth and status’ and carry a high price tag. However, since the production of fabrics and other materials has evolved, animal prints have become easily accessible to most. From clothes to furniture and other everyday items, animal prints are everywhere.

Hovia compared search data to find the most popular patterns in the UK and worldwide.

Although often confused with leopard print, cheetah print has a different appearance and is not the same pattern. Leopard print consists of plain rosettes with a darker outer and lighter colour in the centre. Cheetah print can be identified by its single colour spots.
