Wallpaper - Safari Cat IV

Created by Omar Escalante, our Safari Cat IV wallpaper presents a striking, stylized cheetah composed of bold geometric forms and graphic colour blocking. Rich shades of warm orange, vivid turquoise teal, bubblegum pink, and golden yellow interlock across the feline's resting silhouette, punctuated by crisp black spots and defined contours. Set against a bold crimson-orange sun and a clean, pale background, the composition delivers an energetic retro character inspired by postmodern design. Like all our wall murals, this design is made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the composition relies on a strong, self-contained circular motif and large colour planes, we find this design performs exceptionally well as a focused feature wall. In a living room, placing it behind a low sofa gives the artwork room to breathe without competing with higher pieces of furniture. It brings a lively, playful presence to a children's bedroom, playroom, or teenage room, where the cheerful palette sets a spirited tone without cluttering the visual field.

For a dedicated home office, study, or creative studio, we would position our mural wallpaper on the primary wall facing the desk to create a clear focal point. Because the background is light and open, the pattern adds visual interest and graphic weight without making smaller spaces feel confined.

Styling it

The graphic lines and Memphis-leaning aesthetic invite interiors with clean silhouettes and thoughtful contrast. We suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively streamlined so the artwork remains the focal point of the space.

• Combine the design with painted furniture in deep black, crisp off-white, or muted teal to echo the defined contours and colour blocks within the motif.
• Choose warm wood finishes, such as birch, light ash, or mid-toned teak, to balance the saturated tones with a grounding natural element.
• Keep surrounding soft furnishings largely plain or subtly textured rather than heavily patterned, allowing the cheetah's spotted graphic elements to stand out clearly.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a bold palette of warm orange, turquoise teal, bright pink, golden yellow, and deep black, all framed by a large circular orange-red backdrop on a pale neutral base.

When choosing paint colours for surrounding walls and woodwork, a soft warm off-white or light cream that matches the background tone allows the mural to feel fully integrated into the room. If you prefer deeper contrast, a dark charcoal or soft black on doors and skirting boards provides a sharp, architectural frame that highlights the black linework in the illustration. Alternatively, pulling out a muted variation of the turquoise or warm terracotta for accent walls or textiles creates a cohesive, design-led scheme.
