Wallpaper - Big Cat

Our Big Cat wallpaper, created in collaboration with Julia Dreams, brings a playful and graphic energy to the wall through illustrated leopards set across an open, clean background. The design captures the big cats in various natural poses, stretching, prowling, resting, and sitting, with rich sunflower-yellow coats patterned in classic black rosette spots. Because the figures are spaced generously rather than packed into a tight repeat, the pattern has a light, uncluttered rhythm that lets each illustrated form stand out clearly. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design is simple to hang and introduces distinctive character without overwhelming the room.

In the room

We see this design working exceptionally well in spaces where you want a sense of charm and personality. In a children's bedroom, playroom, or teenage room, the dynamic leopard poses bring a whimsical narrative that feels energetic yet visually tidy. The open composition also makes it a great candidate for a compact entryway, powder room, or dressing room, where a dense repeat might feel too crowded, but these spaced figures add immediate visual interest.

In a larger living room or a dedicated home office, we would give our wallpaper an uninterrupted wall behind a sofa, desk, or low sideboard. Because the individual cats are detailed and active, keeping the lower portion of the wall relatively clear allows the different postures and spacing of the repeat to be fully appreciated across the vertical expanse.

Styling it

The clean background and bold yellow and black motifs pair naturally with contemporary, eclectic, or relaxed mid-century interiors. We recommend balancing the animated character of the pattern with furniture that has clean, grounded silhouettes.

Warm wood tones like oak, walnut, or honeyed birch echo the golden hues of the leopard coats, creating an inviting and balanced feel. For upholstered pieces and larger elements, quiet neutrals such as warm off-white, oatmeal, or soft charcoal help the illustrated cats remain the visual highlight of the space. You can also introduce small accent pieces in matte black metal, such as a sleek floor lamp or picture frames, to pick up the defined linework and spots in the illustration.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on a high-contrast palette of warm sunflower yellow and graphic black, grounded by an off-white background. When choosing surrounding paint colors and decor, we suggest keeping neighboring walls in a soft, matching ivory or warm white to maintain the airy feel of the mural wallpapers.

If you prefer a bolder, more enveloping environment, surrounding woodwork or cabinetry in a rich charcoal, deep olive, or warm ochre creates a sophisticated frame around the pattern. Muted mustard or tawny accents in cushions or throws will seamlessly tie the rest of the room back to the central motif.
