Wallpaper - Animals of Africa II

Our Animals of Africa II wallpaper brings a classic natural history illustration into the home with quiet presence. At the centre of the composition, a leopard stands over grassy ground, defined by fine etched line work and a warm saddle brown and earthy palette. Two palm trees frame the animal against rolling distant hills and an open sky, giving the motif the character of a nineteenth-century field engraving. We produce our wallpapers made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, creating an artistic focal point that sits naturally within heritage-inspired interiors.

In the room

Because the composition is built around a single pictorial scene, we see this wall mural working especially well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the landscape has room to breathe. In a home study or reading library, placing the design behind a desk or alongside open bookshelves gives the space the measured, scholarly feel of a traditional print room. The balanced horizontal landscape and generous sky prevent the artwork from overwhelming smaller rooms, while the detailed etching invites closer inspection when viewed at eye level.

Styling it

We would pair this mural wallpaper with classic English country or heritage interior elements that echo its historical character. Rich, darker wood furniture like mahogany or dark stained ash sits comfortably alongside the earthy saddle brown tones in the illustration. To keep the focus on the vintage linework, we suggest keeping surrounding decor relatively quiet, favouring tailored upholstery, muted woven textiles, and simple brass reading lamps.

Colour combinations

The artwork is rooted in earthy tones, dominated by saddle brown, warm sepia, and muted parchment tones in the background. Around this mural, we would look to warm off-whites, stone neutrals, or deep mossy greens on adjacent walls and woodwork to draw out the natural landscape elements without competing with the central illustration.
