" A new survey carried out by Hillarys has uncovered the country&amp;#039;s favourite decorating trends region\u00A0by\u00A0region. Those in Yorkshire are most likely to deck out their homes in leopard print, while other notable findings include the East of England&amp;#039;s love of animal-themed designs and the North West&amp;#039;s preference for girlie\u00A0glamour. Here are the the most popular styles\u00A0by region:  East Midlands \u2013 1950s (29%) East of England \u2013 Animal (14%) London \u2013 Scandi\u00A0(31%) North East \u2013 1970s\u00A0(21%) Northern Ireland \u2013 Vintage (41%) North West \u2013 Girlie glamour (27%) Scotland \u2013 Travel\u00A0(30%) South East \u2013 Bright and bold colours (19%) South West \u2013 Ecofriendly and natural\u00A0(15%) Wales \u2013 Shabby chic\u00A0(17%) West Midlands \u2013 Nautical\u00A0(29%) Yorkshire &amp;amp;amp; Humberside \u2013 Leopard print (28%)  &amp;#039;Not all of the styles and outcomes are what we expected. It&amp;#039;s interesting to see that people in the West Midlands, a landlocked region, are most likely to plump for nautical themes, while those on the coast opt for other styles,&amp;#039; comments Hillarys&amp;#039; Zoe Ashton. Respondents were also asked whether they were more likely to try out daring new fashion styles or home trends \u2013 with a quarter (24%) stating they&amp;#039;d be prepared to take bigger risks with their interiors. Given this willingness to experiment, it&amp;#039;s perhaps not surprising that 67% had been criticised by members of their own family for their interiors choices! The survey polled 2,944 British adults. All respondents were aged 18 or over, with an even spread of respondents from around the UK.
