Wallpaper - Exotic Menagerie

Our Exotic Menagerie wallpaper brings together leopard spots in caramel brown and black, winding snakes banded in red, white, and black, and woven golden chains set against a deep dark background dotted with tiny white stars. Large beige moths and vivid green palm foliage introduce contrasting shapes throughout the composition, giving the pattern an eclectic, textile-inspired feel. What we particularly like about this design is how the intricate decorative elements create a rich, layered rhythm across the wall. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a distinct, expressive character for spaces that embrace bold pattern.

In the room

In residential interiors, we see this design working especially well in intimate, characterful spaces such as a dressing room, a creative studio, or a teenage bedroom where an expressive feature wall can set the tone. Because the repeat combines multiple detailed motifs, giving it a relatively uninterrupted wall allows the balance between the snakes, leopard prints, and botanical fronds to be fully appreciated. In compact rooms, wrapping the wallpaper around the space creates an immersive, jewel-box atmosphere, while on a single accent wall behind a low vanity or desk, it provides a dramatic graphic backdrop without competing with tall furnishings.

Styling it

To balance the visual energy of the pattern, we would pair this wallpaper with quiet, considered furnishings. Clean-lined contemporary pieces or vintage mid-century silhouettes in darker woods help ground the rich earthy tones of the print. Incorporating warm brass or muted metallic hardware creates a subtle dialogue with the printed golden chains in the motif. Keeping surrounding upholstery and bedding in solid, textured fabrics rather than competing patterns will allow the wallpaper to remain the clear visual centrepiece of the room.

Colour combinations

The design features an earthy base of caramel brown, deep black, and neutral beige, punctuated by accents of vivid scarlet red and lush palm green. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or larger furniture, we suggest drawing directly from these tones. A deep charcoal or soft off-black on adjacent walls or trim creates a seamless, moody transition that enhances the background. Alternatively, warm caramel, soft terracotta, or muted moss green on surrounding surfaces can pull out the organic shades within the foliage and animal motifs, creating a cohesive, warm interior.
