On Trend: Snakes Are Home Decor's New Animal Print

These pretty little reptiles are everyone's favorite design motif this fall

There's a thin line between tasteful and kitschy when it comes to animal-print decor. These serpentine pieces fall in the former category. They're spooky enough to hint at Halloween, but subtle enough to keep on display year-round.

Serpent Side Table

OK, so this one is a bit more permanent than your standard decor, but we couldn't skip over this swoon-worthy wallpaper. It comes in six punchy shades and one roll covers just over 65 square feet. The floral stems and coiled shape of the snakes soften the potentially harsh concept of snake wallpaper.

Snake Valet Tray

This porcelain number is an updated version of the classic leather valet tray—just look at those pinched corners! The poppy orange and intertwined snakes make this tray a stylish nod to the season, suitable for any room in the house.

Snake Pillow

If you're looking for something that skews more playful than scary, consider this pillow from designer and artist Justina Blakeney. Each snake is unique (some have stripes, some have dots), so it's also a great way to add more pattern to your space too.

Nagini Bean Bag Chair

This velvet beanbag has room for two—you and a slithery friend! A gilded snake (inspired by Nagini from the Harry Potter series) wraps around the base of this playroom perch. Kids and adults will love it.

Counter Couture Snake Can Glasses

Lattes, mixed drinks, and even plain old water looks more appetizing in these snaky glasses. They're shaped like a can for that vintage feel, plus they're made by a Colorado-based small business. Buy them individually or go all in (we would!) on a set of four.

Wizarding World Nagini Mirror

This oval wall mirror is simply enchanting. Twin snakes "wrap" around the mirror frame and their 3D features and textured skin make them look especially lively. Embrace the edginess by pairing the mirror with a dark color scheme or give off magical garden vibes with a poppy, floral palette. Either way, this serpentine mirror can totally reflect your vibe. Get it?

Snake Easy Care Rug

A whimsical snake motif adorns this 100 percent wool area rug from interior designer Sarah Sherman Samuel for West Elm. It will look hauntingly beautiful in your space, plus you can feel good about your purchase since the rug was made in a Fair Trade Certified factory.

Polished Brass Snake Door Knocker

Guests (especially trick-or-treaters) will get a kick out of this snake-shaped door knocker. Polished solid brass and scale-textured engravings take it to the next level.
