Dark & Moody Animal Print Wallpaper for Bedrooms
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.
Bedrooms are the perfect place to experiment because they are private and lived in mostly at night. A papered wall behind the bed acts like an oversized headboard.
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 13 original designs includes busy bee, butterfly, flock of birds, leopard spot, tiger stripe, zebra. Highlights from the edit include Clover Flock of Birds, Kestrel Leopard Spot, Hendry Flock of Birds.
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.
- Calming palettes and organic patterns help bedrooms feel restful.
- Small rooms are ideal: a powder room in leopard spot is a talking point that guests remember.
How much will I need?
A typical bedroom wall of about 3.6 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.
