Amanda Seyfried's bold accent chair transforms an awkward corner into a celebration of 2025's biggest pattern trend

What do you do with unused corners in your living room? Amanda Seyfried elevates hers with an animal-printed chair.

The actress's bold living room seating is nestled into a dark corner of her wood-lined living room. Dark-stained walls and an antique lamp make it feel luxurious and old world, while the zebra pattern of her chair gives it a fashion-inspired twist. The seat transforms what would be a dark corner into a design-led statement.

If you're enamored with the look, you're in luck; the pattern of Amanda's chair taps into one of the biggest 2025 interior design trends. We are going to see a lot more of this pattern in our interiors going forward.

Chloe Barrow, interior expert at Laura James, explains: 'Leopard print made a splash in fashion last year, and now it’s creeping into our homes. In 2025, we’ll see bold animal prints adorning statement pieces like cushions, curtains, and even wallpaper.'

As demonstrated by Amanda's living room, decorating with animal prints requires a delicate touch. It's about creating balance between silence and noise.

Chloe advises: 'To keep this trend sophisticated, focus on mixing prints with subtle textures and neutral tones. A leopard-print armchair paired with a natural jute rug or velvet sofa adds an eclectic yet balanced feel to a room. Accessories like animal-print lampshades or ottomans can also make a bold statement without overwhelming the space.'

In this vein, you can take a page out of Amanda's book and use a vibrant animal print to decorate an empty corner. It's the perfect way to draw attention, without overcrowding the room in patterns.

There is no pattern bolder or more fun than an animal print. When used correctly, it can also be one of the most elevated styles in an interior designer's arsenal.
