Animals & Wildlife
Animal wallpaper brings life, personality, and a sense of play to any space. From whimsical illustrated creatures for children's rooms to sophisticated wildlife prints for living rooms and offices, animal patterns span the full spectrum of style. Whether you love tropical birds, jungle cats, woodland foxes, or ocean life, Applied Coverings prints every animal wallpaper design to your exact wall dimensions on your choice of five premium materials.
Whimsical vs. Realistic Animal Prints
The animal wallpaper category divides naturally into two camps. Whimsical, illustrated styles feature hand-drawn or watercolor animals in playful poses and bright palettes, perfect for nurseries, playrooms, and children's bedrooms. Realistic and photographic animal prints, like a detailed heron in a marsh or a pride of lions on the savanna, carry a more mature, gallery-art energy suited to living rooms, dens, and commercial spaces. Both approaches make strong accent walls. Explore the full range in our wallpaper collection.
Best Rooms for Animal Wallpaper
Children's rooms are the obvious choice, but animal wallpaper works far beyond the nursery. A bold jungle print in a dining room creates conversation-starting drama. Bird-and-branch patterns in a bathroom add elegance with a nature-forward edge. Butterfly and insect motifs in a home office bring creative energy without distraction. For commercial use, animal wallpaper in restaurant dining areas, veterinary clinics, and boutique retail spaces adds memorable character. Pair your pattern with the right material using our material comparison guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is animal wallpaper just for kids' rooms?
Not at all. While animal prints are popular in nurseries, sophisticated wildlife patterns, realistic illustrations, and elegant bird motifs work beautifully in adult spaces like dining rooms, living rooms, and home offices.
What animal patterns are most popular?
Tropical birds, jungle animals, woodland creatures, and marine life are all perennial favorites. Butterfly and moth prints have surged in popularity recently.
Can I get a custom animal print made?
Yes. Upload your own animal artwork or photograph and we will print it as wallpaper on your chosen material, sized to your walls.
What material works best for a child's room?
Peel & Stick Canvas is ideal since it is easy to remove and replace as your child grows and their tastes change. It also does not damage walls, which is perfect for rentals.
Does animal wallpaper work with other patterns?
