Wallpaper - Funky Safari Mural

Our Funky Safari mural brings a playful, imaginative world into the home with friendly cartoon lions, giraffes, zebras, elephants, hippos, cheetahs, and crocodiles scattered among green trees and tropical palms. What we especially like about this design is how unexpected colour accents, like pink zebras and soft blue elephants, bring a cheerful energy against the gentle cream background. The repeat is evenly spaced and open, giving every illustrated animal room to breathe rather than feeling crowded. Produced to your exact dimensions, our wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure that feels lovely in any room.

In the room

We see this design working naturally in nurseries, toddler rooms, and dedicated playrooms where you want an inviting, storybook character without visual clutter. Because the cream base is soft and light, the pattern can easily wrap around all four walls of a smaller room without closing it in. On a main feature wall behind a cot or low shelving unit, the individual animals stay clear and recognizable. The balance of open background and lively motifs keeps the wall interesting at eye level for little ones while maintaining a calm overall presence in the space.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we like to keep the larger furniture pieces simple to let the illustrated animals take centre stage. Natural, light-toned wood like birch or light ash works beautifully alongside the tropical greens and cream background, keeping the room warm and grounded.

To complement the playful character without competing for attention, soft furnishings in unpatterned fabrics work best. Choosing simple cushions or curtains that pull out one of the quieter tones from the motif helps tie the room together in a gentle, cohesive way.

Colour combinations

The design features a soft cream backdrop layered with leafy greens, alongside cheerful accents of pink, sky blue, warm yellow, and soft ochre. For adjacent painted surfaces and skirting boards, soft off-whites, warm biscuit tones, or gentle clary greens pair naturally without competing with the illustration. If you want a more colourful direction for storage boxes, shelving, or small decor, drawing out the playful blues or dusky pinks from the animals creates a lovely, coordinated look.
