Animal Wallpaper for Stylish Walls Across Australian Homes
Animal wallpaper is a printed wall covering wildlife scenes for kids rooms, lounges and feature walls. The collection covers safari herds, jungle big cats, woodland creatures, and Arctic wolves. You will also find tropical birds and watercolour wildlife art. Each animal mural works in a Sydney apartment, a Melbourne kids' room, or a Brisbane Queenslander. The prints pair well with coastal whites, blackbutt floors, linen sofas, and rattan accents. Most designs are removable and self-adhesive, which keeps your bond safe in Australian rentals. Free and fast shipping is available Australia-wide.
Animal Wall Murals Ideas for Aussie Bedrooms and Lounges
Animal wallpaper suits more spaces than most buyers expect. A soft watercolour safari scene calms a baby's nursery in Brisbane. A bold tiger print lifts a teenager's room in Adelaide. A herd of elephants behind the lounge gives a Perth family room a quiet wow factor. The collection covers illustrated, watercolour, photographic, and realistic styles.
Buyers usually pick by mood as much as by subject. Soft pencil koalas, foxes, owls, and possums read sweet for under-fives. For nursery-specific picks, our nursery wallpaper collection has matching gentle palettes. Photographic lions, zebras, and giraffes feel grown-up enough for a study nook or formal lounge.
Print scale matters too. Larger animals work better on a single feature wall behind the bed or sofa. Smaller, repeating creatures suit all four walls in a kids' room or rumpus room.
Choosing a style by age and space
Pick watercolour and pencil illustrations for nurseries and toddler rooms. Pick photographic safari art for grown-up studies and Hamptons-style lounges. Older kids often gravitate to bold animal print wallpaper or jungle scenes.
Animal Mural Styles That Suit Every Aussie Home
An animal mural lifts your existing decor rather than fighting it. Coastal-white walls love a soft watercolour menagerie. Hamptons-blue walls suit a savannah scene with warm browns. Blackbutt and spotted-gum floors pair neatly with safari tones.
Rattan, linen, and bouclé sit well under a jungle print. For more bold, leafy backgrounds, browse our jungle mural designs for layered green looks.
In a Queenslander with VJ panelling, run the mural on the wall opposite the panelling so neither look fights the other. In a Federation home with picture rails, stop the print at rail height. Brass lamps, plain weave rugs, and a linen sofa finish the room without competing.
Mid-grey or navy lounges go with almost any animal print wallpaper. Bolder ochre or terracotta sofas suit quieter watercolour designs and forest animal wallpaper.
Coastal and Hamptons palettes that work
Coastal whites and pale blues flatter watercolour wildlife art. Hamptons navy with warm timber suits savannah and herd scenes. Mix in linen cushions and a single brass lamp for warmth.
Where to Hang Wildlife Wallpaper at Home
Think about light, scale, and where the eye lands first. North-facing rooms in Sydney and Brisbane catch strong sun. Cooler Arctic and woodland palettes balance the heat. South-facing Melbourne lounges cope well with warmer savannah tones.
A small kids' room feels bigger with a single mural behind the bed and plain walls elsewhere. A larger rumpus room or open-plan lounge can carry a print across two adjoining walls. For more leafy backdrops, our forest wall murals offer calmer scenes for restful spaces.
In a study nook or hallway, smaller repeating creatures work best. Behind a sofa, leave a hand's width of wall above the back cushions. Behind a cot, soft watercolour prints feel calmer than photographic ones.
Apartments versus open-plan homes
In a Sydney apartment, one feature wall is plenty. In an open-plan Brisbane home, use the mural to zone the lounge area away from the dining table. A bold zebra print or leopard print works as a clear visual anchor.
Removable and Self-Adhesive Animal Wall Mural Options
Most designs come as removable self-adhesive panels or as paste-the-wall murals. Self-adhesive suits renters across Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane because it lifts off cleanly at end of lease. That keeps your bond safe.
Paste-the-wall murals suit owners who want a longer-life finish in a forever home. Both types use child-safe, low-VOC inks, which matters for a kids' room or nursery.
Wipe light marks with a soft damp cloth. Hot summers under air-con are not a problem; the print handles dry heat without curling. New to wall murals? See our installation guide for step-by-step prep tips.
Keep the mural out of direct alfresco sun and away from steamy bathroom splash zones. Take dated photos before install for landlord records.
Caring for the print at home
Dust gently with a microfibre cloth every few months. Spot-clean light marks with mild soapy water on a soft cloth. Avoid steam cleaners and harsh sprays.
Animal Print Wallpaper for a New Baby, Move, or Refresh
The usual triggers are a new baby, a house move, or a kid outgrowing dinosaurs. Families in Melbourne and Adelaide often redo the nursery before maternity leave ends. Renters in Sydney and Brisbane refresh a feature wall before a new flatmate moves in.
Beach-house owners along the Gold Coast pick animal print wallpaper as a relaxed weekender feature. New-build owners use exotic animal designs to soften plain off-white plasterboard. For sunlit, savannah-style backdrops, our safari themed wallpaper brings warm, earthy tones into any home.
Pick a style that will still feel right in two or three years. Watercolour woodland and pencil safari age well. Cartoon themes can date faster as a child grows up.

FAQs
Which materials is best for wallpaper?
Wallpapers are made from standard paper, canvas paper, premium paper, peel and stick materials for durability and style.
How Do I Measure My Wall for a Wall Mural?

What is animal wallpaper and what rooms does it work in?
Animal wallpaper is a printed wall covering featuring wildlife scenes in illustrated, watercolor, photographic or realistic styles. It works in kids' bedrooms, living rooms, home offices and hallways. Safari, jungle, woodland and Arctic prints each carry a different mood, so the best choice depends on the room's light, furniture and the age of the people who use it.
What sofa color pairs best with an animal mural?
Mid-grey, navy and warm cream sofas suit almost any animal print. They let the mural lead without clashing. If the design carries strong oranges or reds, lean toward grey. If it uses soft watercolor tones, cream or oatmeal works well. Add a plain wool throw and a linen cushion to complete the look.
Is animal wallpaper safe in a rented home or apartment?
Yes. Peel and stick animal wallpaper is designed for renters. It lifts off cleanly without pulling paint when applied to a fully cured wall. Photograph the wall before installation and keep a copy. Most landlords and property managers accept self-adhesive wallpaper since the wall returns to its original condition. Avoid applying over fresh paint under four weeks old.
Are watercolor woodland prints right for a toddler's room?
Yes. Illustrated foxes, hedgehogs, rabbits and woodland creatures read gentle rather than scary. They suit children under five and age well into early school years. Pair with plain cotton bedding, a light wood crib or toddler bed, and a linen blackout curtain. A cream or oatmeal rug keeps the overall look soft.
Are big cat prints like tigers and lions suitable for a kid's room?
It depends on the child's age and the illustration style. Photographic predators can feel intense for children under five. Illustrated, friendly-faced versions are generally well received. Many parents choose tiger and lion murals for primary-school-age kids and teenagers who love them. Order a sample, put it on the wall and gauge your child's reaction before committing.
How do I hang animal wall murals for the best result?
Measure the wall height and width accurately, then add two inches to each panel for trimming. Make sure the surface is clean, dry and fully cured. Peel and stick panels go up from the top down, aligning each panel before trimming the seam. For permanent adhesive wallpaper, apply paste to the wall rather than the paper for easier repositioning. Always check the pattern repeat before cutting.
How do I care for animal mural wallpaper over time?
Dust gently with a dry microfiber cloth every few weeks. Spot-clean marks with mild soapy water on a soft cloth and blot dry. Keep the surface away from direct steam or harsh cleaning sprays. The paper backing handles normal indoor humidity and temperature changes without curling or lifting at the seams.
