Obviously, this print reminds us of the military world. However, its meaning has changed and has another perspective. It’s not solely used for the army, but it’s also a conventional resource.

                            This is a print that expresses the boldness of your personality.

Using camouflage print in your home

Most likely, you may not know where to use this print in your rooms. It’s not a question of overdoing it, so it’s good to use it sparsely and spontaneously. Your objective isn’t to militarize your house. but to give it a little pizzazz with a novel design.

1.The sofa cushions are appropriate for this design. It doesn’t matter if it’s one, two, or three pillows. It’s important that it produces a contrast with the sofa and has an attractive visual effect.

2. If you want to make it stand out more you can use it with bed linen. It will attract the eye and it’ll be the fundamental focus of the space, especially if the bed is large.

3.  Another element to take into account is the carpet in the living room or bedroom. Camouflage can combine very well with the floor, especially if it’s wooden. Also, it’ll produce a feeling of stability since it’s a dark color.

4. Can you use upholstery for this print? A few stores offer armchairs with this design. But this would only be an option if you want the space to have a really different look.

Resources for the wall

Moreover, there’s the choice of having fabric wall hangings or colorful vinyls on the wall.

What styles work well?
