Animal Print Wall Murals for Bold Feature Walls
Animal print wallpaper is a wall covering that copies the markings of an animal's coat. Leopard spots, tiger stripes, zebra bands, snake scales. It is a pattern, not a picture of an animal.
Giffywalls prints every mural to the exact width and height of your wall. We print these for dressing rooms, powder rooms and bold living rooms all year, and one thing comes up again and again. People start small, then wish they had gone bigger.
Bold, But Easier Than It Looks
Animal print has a reputation for being loud. In practice it behaves like a neutral. Leopard sits in the tan and brown family. Zebra is just black and white. Snake is soft gray and cream.
That is why designers treat it as a base rather than an accent. It goes with denim, camel, black, olive and gold. It is far more flexible than a floral or a strong geometric. Try it once and you will see. The wall stops shouting after a day.
The Prints and What They Do
Leopard
The warmest and the most forgiving. Spots break up a wall, so marks and bumps disappear into the pattern. Our leopard wallpaper range runs from soft beige to strong gold. Cheetah print wallpaper sits close by, with smaller, denser spots. Beige reads almost neutral from across the room.
Tiger and Zebra
Stripes are graphic and directional. Vertical stripes stretch a low ceiling. Horizontal ones widen a narrow room. Our tiger wallpaper designs bring warmth. Zebra stays cool and crisp, and it suits a monochrome scheme.
Snake and Croc
These read as texture more than pattern. From a few steps back the wall looks like tooled leather. They are the quietest way into this look.
Rooms That Take It Well
Small rooms are the sweet spot. A powder room, a walk-in closet, a bar corner, the back of a bookcase. You are in there briefly, so a bold wall is a pleasure rather than a burden.
Living rooms work too, on one wall only. A dressing room or a bedroom feature wall reads glamorous and warm. Skip a kid's room. Skip the full four walls in a room you work in all day. Behind a bar or a bookcase is a smart trick too. You only see the wall in glimpses, so a bold print stays fun.
Scale Is Everything
The size of the marking changes the whole mood. Big spots read modern, playful and graphic. Small spots read classic and almost like fabric.
In a small room, go small. The wall then behaves like a texture. On a big clear wall, go large and let it lead. Getting this wrong is the most common mistake we see.
Two Simple Rules
Rule one. One patterned wall, and plain everything else. Rule two. Match the marking size to the room size. Get those right and animal print behaves itself. Get them wrong and the room just feels busy.
Colors to Build Around
Let the print set the palette. Warm leopard sits beautifully with cream, camel, chocolate and aged brass. Add black for edge. Zebra wants pure white, black and one hit of strong color. Emerald or scarlet both work.
Keep the rest of the room plain. One patterned wall plus plain everything else is the rule here. If you like layered maximalism instead, our maximalist wallpaper range shows how to mix it properly.
Sizing, Finish and Fitting
Send us the width and height of your wall. We scale the artwork to match, so a spot never lands half-cut in a corner. Trying a bold look for the first time? Choose removable wallpaper and peel it off later with no damage. Paste-the-wall suits a room you are sure about. Panels arrive numbered with hanging notes, and shipping is free on every order.

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.
