Animal motifs enliven and strengthen a room, and connect the indoors to nature.
In a Fort Greene townhouse home to Chused & Co.’s Jenna Chused, a painting of an ostrich reinforces the parlor’s serene creamy and sepia tones. Leopard spots animate candles from Studio SFW shop House SFW. A papier-mâché mouse wall mount from Collyer’s Mansion strikes a note of whimsy.
Baby foxes peer from their lair in a faux-bois ceramic stump crowned with branches, a petite vintage planter by Weller Woodcraft from House SFW. A softly colored owl feather embroidered on a natural linen tea towel recalls happy finds on nature walks.
