Wallpaper - Cheetah Mates II

Our Cheetah Mates II wallpaper by Yvette St. Amant brings together two seated cheetahs flanked by decorative blue-and-white porcelain vases and lush green foliage with delicate pink flowering sprigs. The painted-looking visual texture gives the motif a rich, expressive character, while the deep emerald green backdrop provides a striking contrast to the warm golden-brown coats of the cheetahs and the crisp cobalt florals on the urns. Printed made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, our design creates an eye-catching focal point full of personality.

In the room

Because of the strong central composition and rich illustrative detail, we see this wall mural working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the entire scene can be appreciated at full scale. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low sofa or credenza lets the upright cheetahs and tall porcelain urns anchor the seating area without key elements being hidden.

In a dining room or an entryway, the deep green background and layered pattern create an intimate, enveloping atmosphere. The vertical orientation of the vases and seated big cats naturally draws the eye upward, making it especially effective on walls with generous ceiling height. For bedrooms, we would place our wallpaper along the main headboard wall to give the room a defined visual identity while keeping the surrounding walls in softer, quieter tones.

Styling it

To let the artwork take centre stage, we suggest styling the surrounding space with furniture that features clean silhouettes and warm, natural materials. Rich wood tones, such as walnut or mid-toned teak, echo the warm amber in the cheetah coats and balance the intensity of the forest green backdrop.

For upholstery and soft furnishings, choosing solid fabrics rather than competing patterns keeps the focus squarely on the mural. Textured bouclé, smooth velvet, or woven linen in muted cream, sand, or olive help build a layered, tactile interior without visual clutter. Understated lighting, such as a floor lamp with a diffused warm shade, will gently highlight the painted brushwork without washing out the deep green tones.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on rich forest green, warm ochre and tan, crisp white, deep cobalt blue, and subtle hints of soft blossom pink.

When choosing paint colours for adjacent walls and woodwork, a muted warm off-white or soft linen shade offers a balanced, bright contrast that lets the mural stand out. If you prefer a moodier, monochromatic scheme, pulling a deep olive or dark moss green from the botanical background onto neighbouring walls and skirting creates a seamless, wrap-around effect. For smaller decorative accents, picking up the cobalt blue from the porcelain or the blush pink from the delicate flowers ties the whole room together effortlessly.
