Antelope has gotten hot, hot, hot as an alternative to leopard and zebra. Although some have dismissed it as trendy, I think it a new classic, here to stay, and I love it. The conventional wisdom is that it is best used in neutral (to me, boring) rooms where it takes center stage. No! It is far more neutral than leopard and zebra and they all work beautifully with color and with Chinoiserie.
In my inspiration board, I have paired it with Thibaut's cheetah wallpaper. Are they natural enemies? Not in this chic entryway with its gold leaf Greek key console, pagoda lamps, and gold twig mirror, all beautiful finds from Charlotte & Ivy.
I envision using the antelope as a rug in the foyer and then on the stairs as a runner. It is also wonderful as a rug or as wall to wall in a living room, dining room, hallway, or bedroom. It hides dirt very well. Sources include Stark (above), Karastan, Couristan, and Glen Eden.
