For a hint of the exotic, the animal print lampshade is currently a hot item with interior designers, the adventurous and the bold. But looks can be deceiving: a faux leopardskin shade is actually made of printed paper. Team it up with leopard or zebra print throws and cushions - but the trick is tasteful restraint. Overdo it and the look will be more Bet Lynch than safari nights. To achieve it at little cost, invest in one of a range of animal print shades at Hicken Lighting, only £12.50.
