Wallpaper - Cheetah Mates I

Our Cheetah Mates I wallpaper, created by Yvette St. Amant, brings together an eclectic composition of painted wildlife and classic ceramics. Two spotted cheetahs, one sitting upright and the other resting gracefully, are set against a rich emerald green backdrop of lush palm fronds. Behind them stand decorative blue and white porcelain vases adorned with floral motifs, complemented by delicate pink blossoms at the top. The design combines an expressive hand-painted look with striking visual contrast, creating a bold, artistic focal point for your interior. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, and designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

With its rich visual storytelling and confident central composition, we see this wall mural working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, dining room, or bedroom. Because the artwork features a strong narrative balance between the two cheetahs and the decorative porcelain vases, it benefits from a relatively open wall where the full composition can be appreciated without tall furniture obscuring the central figures. In a dining area or an entryway, it creates an immediate sense of personality and visual depth, especially under warm ambient lighting that highlights the contrast between the warm tawny tones of the cheetahs and the deep green foliage.

Styling it

To let the expressive character of the artwork lead the space, we would pair this wallpaper with understated furniture featuring clean lines and rich, natural materials. Darker wood finishes, such as walnut or deep stained timber, ground the design naturally and echo the deeper green tones of the background leaves.

For surrounding decorative elements, classic blue and white ceramics or simple brass accents harmonize effortlessly with the vase detailing in the pattern. Keeping upholstery and large area rugs in solid, neutral textures prevents competing patterns and allows the painted detail of our wall murals to take centre stage.

Colour combinations

The palette centres on deep emerald greens, warm tawny ochre with crisp black spots, clean porcelain white, cobalt blues, and subtle touches of soft pink. When considering surrounding walls and woodwork, a crisp soft white or light cream creates a fresh, balanced contrast that lets the mural stand out. Alternatively, taking inspiration from the foliage and painting adjacent trim or woodwork in a deep forest green creates an immersive, cohesive room scheme. Subtle dusty rose accents in cushions or throws can also draw out the delicate floral highlights from the top of the design.
