FRAME
That’s right! Cut it up and frame it!
A frame is an object that surrounds the painting or the picture. Frames come in all shapes, and are typically made of wood, metal, or plastic. They are designed to protect the inside or line the surface of anything, be it windows and doors, or pictures and photos. Some frames may have simple designs while others have decorative patterns on them. Zebra hide frames were popular in the early 1900s. They had a black background with white stripes, which are often seen as an indication of status because they were once reserved for royalty and nobility. You could preserve a piece in a glass frame and have it engraved 'Real Zebra Skin - Out of Africa.' - Just playing around with ideas here. With fun creative ideas!
Zebra themed frames are a hit, and a very aesthetic luxurious item to gift to the zebra lover in your life, or even to light a spark that will burn with immense love for zebra hide, in the person you are blessing. They provide a more natural look to the pictures while being lighter and more durable than other framing materials. The patterns boldly represent a mesmerizing view to the beholder.
OTTOMAN
An ottoman is a piece of furniture. Generally, ottomans have neither backs nor arms. They may be an upholstered low couch or a smaller cushioned seat used as a table, stool or footstool. The seat may have hinges and form a lid for the inside hollow, which can be used for storage of linen, magazines or other items, making it a form of storage furniture. The smaller version is usually placed near an armchair or sofa as part of living room decor or may be used as a fireside seat. It is characterized by its low height and long, slender legs, typically made from wood or metal, but it can also be made from other materials like stone or marble.
This furniture style became popular in Europe and North America during the 18th century because of the rise of Islamic architecture. The style was considered to be more modern than traditional European styles at the time because it was more comfortable for people to sit on couches without having their legs dangle below them. A zebra hide ottoman gift for your lover, or loved one comes as a functional 'forever' gift, that not only improves aesthetics and the style of rooms, it also serves as a functional storage item if you need it to be, and is definitely something no one is ever going to forget. What’s even better is, we have laid out ideas before on what to do with your old zebra hide! It really is a forever gift. No waste.
PILLOW COVERS
Pillow covers are becoming a popular decorative item in homes. They come in all shapes, sizes and colors, and are made from different materials like cotton, linen, wool or silk. They can be used to cover up old pillows or to make new ones look more appealing. Usually, they are made from natural materials like cotton or linen so that they can breathe and have a cooling effect on the skin when you sleep on them at night. Some people also use them for decorative purposes to add an extra layer of color and texture to their bedrooms. Zebra hide pillow covers are an excellent accessory idea for any home. No matter the size of your living room, you will need to have a few pillows to make it comfortable.
Zebra hide pillow covers are not only good for decoration, but they also provide a soft and comfortable cushion for your head. If you have pets, it is important that you get these covers because they will help protect your pillows from getting dirty or damaged. It is also important to note that these pillow covers are easy to clean and maintain. You can just vacuum them off or wash them with water and soap when needed.
