Today I want to talk to you about combining leopard with floral prints. The reason I started thinking about this particular combination came about during my last visit to my Mother's house in Atlanta. She was asking me about updating her living room and we started talking about changing out some pillows. I suggested leopard and her response was "with the flowers"?.
I was surprised that she had reservations about combining the two. After all, she loves a good pattern mix as much as I do.
And clearly I have no qualms about mixing floral with leopard.
Miles Redd is no stranger to the leopard/floral mix, as seen here in House Beautiful.
Nor is Nick Olson:
So I say leopard and floral are completely compatible. And speaking of mixing traditional prints with leopard, I'm considering adding a leopard rug to this bathroom.
Leopard and damask? Works for me.

In a few months, I am going to have most of my house carpeted in leopard. In three words: it's a neutral!
I agree that leopard and animal prints are a great addition to a well curated space -- and YOU do that so well! I always love seeing your masterpieces! Kudos to you!
They go hand in hand! It's a match made in heaven.

Miles and Nick and Kimberly. Sounds like sound advice to me. :)I can get behind this combo.
Wow! That Miles Redd or Nick Olsen know how to combine it! Love all of these images.
Have a great week, Kim.

I like both motifs but particularly like olsens approach
Every room needs a little animal print...love it!
oh i agree! and i would think since you hail from a long line of pattern mixers, she'll come around to it too!
Your so brave with mixing patterns of a totally different genre but it truly works ! Love all your examples dear!
I love the mix ... classic and fresh at the same time!
Yes yes and yes :) I love that mix. I added in a leopard print pillow to our living room sofa and I love what it brings to my pillow scheme. Can't wait to see what you do at your Mom's.
