Graphic design by Tonya Weiland

Animal prints and faux skins are making a distinctive mark in today's designer decors. Window fashions and interior furnishings are keeping up with this trend-setting pace. Whether it's the dominant theme of a room, or introduced through the use of occasional accessories, home owners are drawn to the appeal of animal magnetism. One-of-a-kind animal-inspired design statements are virtually guaranteed with hardware accessories from the C.W. Kirsch Signature Series Buckingham Collection (shown in close-ups photographs thoughout these pages). Window designs take on a personality all their own with any one of these unique creations including fish bracket, horse scarfholder, antler scarf/bracket, elephant scarf/bracket, bird of paradise scarfholder, cheetah scarf or birds on a branch scarf.
A Duette® honeycomb shade from Hunter Douglas Window Fashions in a sheer black fabric helps set the tone in this bedroom created by designer Rona Levine, Great Neck, NY, for a male musician at the 1991 Mansions & Millionaires Designer Showhouse. The window treatment complements the masculinity of the room and the animal motif wall coverings and admits a translucent glow while allowing a softened view of Long Island Sound.
