Wallpaper - Zebra Splash

Our Zebra Splash wallpaper by Kellie Day brings together dynamic collage details, expressive brushwork, and a striking cobalt blue background. The focal point of the artwork is a zebra depicted with painterly stripes, layered mixed-media textures, and spontaneous splatters of paint, offset by playful pops of colour like lime green, purple, and orange. This contemporary wall mural creates an energetic, artistic focal point on any wall, combining graphic animal portraiture with an eclectic, modern feel. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical paper structure.

In the room

Because of the scale of the zebra portrait and the vibrant saturated blue field, this design naturally commands attention. We see mural wallpapers like this working especially well on a main feature wall in a teenage bedroom, creative home studio, or open living area where the artwork has room to be appreciated in full.

In a teenage room or guest space, placing this wallpaper behind a bed or desk gives the entire room an energetic, confident tone without needing excessive wall decoration elsewhere. For a home art studio or study, an uninterrupted wall allows the dynamic paint splatters and collage textures to stay fully visible, bringing a lively, expressive backdrop to your work area.

Styling it

When styling around such an expressive, graphic wall mural, we suggest balancing the artwork's visual weight with clean-lined furniture and deliberate color repeats:

• Keep larger furniture pieces relatively grounded in mid-tone woods or crisp neutral finishes, allowing the vibrant blue backdrop and mixed-media portrait to remain the primary visual focus.
• Draw out secondary accents from the zebra's painted details, such as subtle touches of bright citrus green, ochre, or deep violet in smaller cushions, desk accessories, or decorative ceramics.
• Pair the design with contemporary, eclectic decor elements like simple matte black lighting or minimalist shelving that echo the bold, illustrative line work of the zebra's mane and stripes.

Colour combinations

The dominant cobalt blue background provides a rich, vibrant foundation that pairs naturally with crisp off-white, light grey, or muted navy on adjoining painted walls. Within the zebra illustration itself, an eclectic palette of charcoal, warm cream, violet, burnt orange, and vivid lime green gives plenty of inspiration for accent styling throughout the room.

For surrounding trim and adjacent surfaces, choosing a soft neutral allows the wall mural to stand out crisply. Alternatively, introducing deep indigo or charcoal elements creates a grounded, dramatic setting that matches the rich tones of the zebra's expressive markings.
