Wallpaper - Zebra Face

Our Zebra Face wallpaper brings the graphic impact of wildlife photography right into your interior. Captured by Sharon Vardy, the close-up composition frames the distinctive curves and varying widths of bold black stripes against a clean cotton white base. The soft, out-of-focus background keeps the visual emphasis entirely on the animal's features and glossy brown eye, creating a dramatic focal point on the wall. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our design is straightforward to hang and provides an immediate artistic presence.

In the room

In a living room, this photographic motif works exceptionally well on an open feature wall, such as behind a main seating area, where the full scale of the portrait can be appreciated from a distance. The strong contrast and directional rhythm of the stripes draw the eye across the room, making it an engaging backdrop for spaces where you spend time relaxing or entertaining.

We also see our wall murals working naturally in a home study or creative art studio. The close framing gives the space a thoughtful, contemplative feel without requiring an overly busy pattern repeat across every surface. Because the composition relies on large graphic elements rather than fine, repetitive details, it holds its own on wider walls with minimal interruptions.

Styling it

Because the monochrome contrast in this wallpaper is bold and defined, we suggest balancing the space with quiet, grounded interior elements. Modern and contemporary furniture with clean silhouettes allows the animal portrait to remain the primary visual statement in the room.

To complement the crisp white and deep black tones, bring in warm wooden furniture or accents in medium to darker wood finishes. Natural, unpatterned textiles and understated ceramics introduce gentle physical depth around the room without competing with the dynamic graphic lines of the motif.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centres on deep black stripes set against a soft cotton white base, accented by the warm earthy brown in the eye.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, trim, or larger furniture pieces, consider working with:

• Muted warm whites or soft bone tones that echo the pale base of the photograph without feeling stark
• Deeper charcoal, soft black, or espresso brown to ground adjacent doors, skirting, or shelving
• Subdued earthy accents like warm ochre, clay, or rich taupe to subtly reflect the warmer details in the gaze
