Animal print wallpaper copies the markings of an animal's coat. Leopard spots, tiger stripes, zebra bands and snakeskin. Giffywalls prints each design to the exact size of your wall, so it fits from skirting to ceiling.
Why Animal Print Wallpaper Suits British Rooms
Our daylight is soft and often grey. Bold pattern copes with that better than pale colour does. Leopard print wallpaper holds its warmth on a dull afternoon, where a pale wall can look flat and cold.
There is a heritage angle too. Leopard has been in British homes for decades. It turned up on stair runners and armchairs long before it reached the walls. It sits happily beside old wood and worn leather.
Where an Animal Print Feature Wall Works Best
One rule keeps this simple. One patterned wall, and plain everything else. That is it.
The cloakroom under the stairs is the classic starting point. So is a dressing room, a bar corner or the back of an alcove. You are in there briefly, so bold is a pleasure rather than a burden.
- Downstairs loo: the safest room in the house to be brave.
- Dressing rooms: leopard and warm brass look expensive.
- Alcoves: pattern behind shelves adds depth.
- One sitting room wall: keep the other three plain.
Period Homes
In a Victorian terrace in London or Leeds, keep the mural below the picture rail. The proportions then still read correctly. Spots and small markings also hide uneven old plaster, which is a real bonus in an older house. Our leopard wallpaper designs are the most forgiving of the lot.
Getting the Scale Right
Marking size changes everything. Large spots read modern and graphic. Small ones read like fabric. In a narrow hallway in Bristol, go small. The wall then behaves like a texture, not a statement. The same goes for a small flat in Glasgow.
Colours That Work With It
Cream, camel, chocolate and aged brass suit leopard. Black sharpens it. Zebra prefers white, black and one strong colour. Keep everything else plain, or go the other way entirely and layer it up with our maximalist wallpaper designs.

FAQs
Which materials is best for wallpaper?
Wallpapers are made from standard paper, canvas paper, premium paper, peel and stick materials for durability and style.
How Do I Measure My Wall for a Wall Mural?
Measure the wall's width and height, adding 2–4 inches for trimming. Check for obstacles like windows or doors and note their dimensions. Double-check measurements before ordering!
How Do I Order Custom Size Wallpaper or Wall Mural?

Is animal print wallpaper still in style?
Yes. Animal print is a perennial rather than a trend. It cycles between glam, boho, and modern interpretations but never leaves. Current favorites are oversized spots, tonal neutrals, and painterly takes that read as texture rather than costume.
Which rooms suit animal print wallpaper best?
Powder rooms are the classic choice. Small space, big impact. Bedrooms suit softer tonal prints behind the bed, while living rooms can carry a full leopard or zebra feature wall balanced by plain furniture and simple accents.
What colors pair well with leopard and cheetah prints?
Classic tan leopard pairs with cream, camel, chocolate, gold, and brass for a warm vintage-glam palette. Black-and-white prints suit monochrome rooms, and one saturated accent like emerald or deep red adds punch without clutter.
Can I control the size of the print on my wall?
Yes. Every mural is printed to your wall's exact dimensions, so the scale you see in the preview is the scale you get. Smaller dense prints read as texture, while oversized spots and stripes turn the wall into contemporary art.
Is animal print wallpaper removable for renters?
Choose the peel and stick finish and yes. It is self-adhesive and lifts off cleanly without damaging paint. It is a popular pick for renters and for anyone who wants a bold look now without a long-term commitment.
