Popular Antelope Prints in Home Decor – Sources and Ideas

Antelope prints in home decor – always a popular topic around here.

Re-posting this here today as it’s the last day to take advantage of the sale prices of the linked Ballard Design options below!

Also sometimes referred to as deer or fawn prints, these antelope prints are also one of my favorite patterns, as you can clearly see.

Classic Antelope Print on stairs

Antelope Prints in Home Decor

I get so many questions about this chic print, especially our stair runners.

Today I thought I’d just go ahead and dedicate a whole post to this classic pattern.

Trends by their very nature, come and go…and then usually circle back again!

However, just like in fashion – there are some things that truly never really go out of style.

Of course I’m talking about antelope prints in home decor.

This nature inspired neutral pattern complements SO many different interior design styles, it’s no wonder it’s so popular.

If you too love this perennially stylish print, today’s  post will be right up your ally.

Antelope Pattern Staircase Runners

Carpets with an Antelope print are probably the most popular way to implement this pattern in the home.

To that end, I think stair runners are the most popular way to use antelope carpets in the home.

However, I’m obviously very partial here.

The top photo is of our old stair runner in our former home.

I love this stair runner so much, I went with it again, only even more so – in our current home here in Connecticut.

This cute photo of our dog, Cosmo  –  reminds me to add how great this carpet is for hiding dirt in high traffic areas and of course also ideal for pet owners!

I selected this beautiful pattern for our back stair case (above) and also for the stairs which lead to our attic (seen below.)

Antelope Carpets and Runners

In addition to our stairs, I also went with this fun carpet in our mudroom hallway.

It’s not only pretty, and great for hiding dirt, but it’s also super durable.

Our carpet is from Stark, but there’s a lot of great looking less expensive options available.

I’ve gone ahead and featured several here.

This one below from Ballard is a great option.

In addition to stair case runners and carpets, adding throw pillows with antelope prints is another great way to incorporate this chic pattern into your home decor.

Below are two of my favorite examples.

    I love these prints but what I really need is a leopard print for a chair seat that’s not too orange! Any suggestions?

    I am looking at several Stark options for my staircase. I just ordered a few samples. It is a curved staircase that opens up into a large area and two bedrooms. What would you suggest for those areas? Would I carry the antelope carpet throughout or would it be too busy?

      I’m not sure, I happen to love the print, so I don’t find it too busy at all. Maybe continue into the large areas and leave the bedrooms out. For the bedrooms go with large area rugs? good luck!xx

    Hi Sue:

    Just ordered the Ballard Design Rug! I have a question, the is an art print in the One King’s Lane feature of your home — Two woman walking with buildings in the background, I think it may be a cover of Vogue Magazine. Do you know the source? I think you may have featured it long ago?

      Yes, funny enough I just featured it on my Instagram stories. It is from Vogue, they sell their photo prints in their archives, I think through Condenaste.com ? google archives? good luck!

    Love this! I had ordered the gray Ballard for my living room but had to return it bc it shed like crazy so be forewarned! I have dogs with lots of accidents so ended up getting the flor tiles antelope and it looks surprisingly decent for this elderly dog / puppy phase!
