Leopard Print Is the 'Old Money' Pattern That Brings Subtle Glamour to Every Neutral Scheme – These 24 Pieces Are Wildly Chic

Once taboo, now tastemaker-approved. Leopard’s latest revival is design-forward, a little feral, and very much at home

Your mother probably bought it new in the ’60s. Your celebrity crush wore it in the ’70s. And today, your favorite tastemaker has it at home. Leopard print is shaping up to be one of the biggest living room trends prowling into 2026 – and with recent cosigns from social media's ‘Mob Wives,’ indie sleaze, plus adjacent online revivals, it’s got claws sharp enough to stick.

Until now, this design trend has largely lived on the margins: spotted underfoot at impossible-to-book restaurants (New York’s buzziest openings, like Faena, have it lining the floor) or reserved for that one friend who always pushes things a little further. But leopard is done being an accent. Ahead, 24 fierce, design-forward finds that make us purr.
