Wallpaper - Burchell's Zebra

Our Burchell's Zebra wallpaper brings together graphic zebra portraits nestled within delicate palmate foliage. Designed by Julia Dreams, the motif balances bold monochrome stripes with soft blush pink leaves and subtle neutral undertones, creating a rhythmic and artistic repeat. What we particularly like is how the graphic contrast of the zebras stands out against the softer botanicals without overpowering the overall composition. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpaper with a subtle structure in the paper, it makes a distinctive statement across both accent walls and fully decorated rooms.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in spaces where its playful, graphic character can be appreciated up close. In an entryway or powder room, the dense pattern wraps the perimeter comfortably, turning compact proportions into an immersive interior feature. In a living room or primary bedroom, giving the design an uninterrupted feature wall behind a sofa or low headboard lets the repeated zebra heads and foliage flow across the surface without interruption. The repeat also brings charm to a teenage room, dressing room, or a dedicated home study where you want pattern that feels creative yet grounded by a gentle background palette.

Styling it

Because the pattern carries a strong balance of bold monochrome detail and warm botanical shapes, we like to keep the surrounding furniture tailored and uncluttered. Clean-lined modern pieces let the wallpaper serve as the central visual focus, while mid-century shapes or eclectic furnishings complement its illustrative style.

For materials, warm woods like walnut or natural ash pair naturally with the blush pink and neutral tones of the leaves. Matte black accents in light fittings, picture frames, or chair legs pick up the crisp dark stripes of the zebras, grounding the room without competing with the wall design.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a palette of blush pink, soft cream, and neutral taupe tones contrasted by graphic black and grey stripes. To create a seamless transition around the room, pair it with off-white or creamy neutral paint on adjacent walls, skirting boards, and ceilings. For a richer, more enveloping feel, warm dusty rose, muted terracotta, or deep charcoal accents on upholstery, cabinetry, or textiles echo the dominant tones in the print and tie the entire space together.
