Wallpaper - Big Cats I

Our Big Cats I wallpaper, designed by Omar Escalante, pairs a stylised red leopard illustration with a soft blush pink backdrop. We especially like the graphic balance in this design: the rich red body, darker spots, and clean flowing stripes contrast crisply against the white face and tailored linework. The flat colour planes and curved silhouette give the wild cat motif a contemporary, artistic character rather than a traditional wildlife feel. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it works beautifully as an accent wall in creative spaces or modern family rooms.

In the room

Because the motif centres around a prominent, stylised animal illustration, we see this working best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full figure has space to breathe. In a living room, placing this mural behind a low sofa or credenza keeps the clean lines and sweeping tail in full view.

The warmth of the blush pink and red tones also suits bedrooms, dressing rooms, and playrooms. In a child's bedroom or nursery, the playful subject matter feels cheerful without leaning overly sweet, thanks to the graphic clarity of the drawing. If you are working with an open-plan layout, giving this design a dedicated zone, such as a dining nook or reading corner, instantly anchors the area.

Styling it

The bold character of this design lends itself well to contemporary and eclectic interiors. To keep the focus on the artwork, we would pair it with furniture that shares a similar modern simplicity. Clean-lined pieces in warm woods like ash, birch, or pale oak bring natural texture without competing with the red linework.

You can also lean into the playful retro spirit of the print with lacquered surfaces or matte painted finishes in cream, deep burgundy, or soft terracotta. Keep surrounding fabrics relatively calm; plain woven upholstery or simple cotton drapery balances the visual punch of the leopard motif nicely.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a clear palette of blush pink, bold red, deeper crimson spots, and crisp white accents.

To create a cohesive interior, you can pull the soft pink into adjacent painted walls or woodwork for an enveloping, tonal look. If you prefer more contrast, neutral walls in warm off-white, chalk, or soft stone allow the red illustration to stand out cleanly. For accent pieces, deeper shades of wine, rust, or even an earthy olive green offer a striking, grounded pairing with the pink background.
