Dark & Moody Animal Print Wallpaper Feature Wall Ideas
Animal print wallpaper – from leopard spots to zebra stripes and flocks of birds – is about personality and fun. It is a favourite for statement cloakrooms.
A single feature wall lets you enjoy a bold design while keeping the rest of the room calm and painted.
Dark and moody wallpaper makes rooms feel cocooning and dramatic, and paradoxically can make small rooms feel larger as the corners recede.
Our edit of 11 original designs includes busy bee, flock of birds, leopard spot, tiger stripe, zebra. Highlights from the edit include Clover Flock of Birds, Kestrel Leopard Spot, Lovell Leopard Spot.
Shown: Clover Flock of Birds Wallpaper in Bottle Green Brass.

Styling tips
- Ground animal prints with simple, solid furniture and warm metallics.
- Use warm lamps rather than overhead light to make dark walls glow.
- Choose the wall your eye falls on first as you enter the room.
- Small rooms are ideal: a powder room in leopard spot is a talking point that guests remember.
How much will I need?
A typical feature wall wall of about 3.5 m wide × 2.4 m high needs 7 drops. With a 53 cm pattern repeat you get 3 drops per 10 m roll, so you would order 3 rolls – from £132.60 on Standard paper to £217.62 on Luxe. Use the calculator on any product page for your exact walls.
Make it your own
Every design in this edit can be recoloured, rescaled and previewed on a photo of your own wall in Design Your Own, then printed made-to-measure.
