Animal print rugs and carpet to the trade
Animal print rugs to the trade: 151 leopard, cheetah, zebra, antelope and tiger styles from Kane Carpet (28), Prestige Mills (25), Bloomsburg Carpet (24) and Stanton (21). Most are woven broadloom, Wilton (78) and Axminster (7), with machine woven (16) and tufted (9) rugs behind; wool (35), polypropylene (55) and wool blend (19) are the fibers and 130 are made to order.
Animal print is a stair pattern first. A leopard rug or antelope carpet in a Wilton weave has the dense low pile a stair needs, hides soil and its 12 to 24 inch repeat turns a landing without a visible seam. Stanton and Prestige Mills do antelope and leopard in wool; Kane Carpet do zebra and cheetah in nylon and polypropylene.
Scale it to the room: a small cheetah spot reads as a texture from across a room and works under furniture; a full zebra stripe or a large leopard rosette wants to be seen whole, as a runner or a bound rug in an entry. In a scheme it stands in for a neutral, pairs with a solid in its own brown or black and fights a second pattern at the same scale. The rug collection, with the Pampas Leather hides, is at animal print rugs; stairs are at stair runners.
Before you specify, read the animal print rugs and carpet guide, written for the trade with the constructions, fibers and rooms that suit this look.
