Animal skin wallpaper

Animal hide wallpaper for an interior with character

Animal hide wallpaper brings the markings of crocodile, snake, tiger and spotted coat to the wall without a single animal involved. It is the choice for anyone after depth and tactility: at Selected Wallpapers it means richly textured designs in which the grain of the skin seems palpable, often in vinyl or on non-woven with a lightly embossed surface. As a result this kind of wallpaper never reads as a flat print, but as a genuine second skin on your wall. The tone is warm and earthy, with an unmistakable sense of exclusivity.

Crocodile hide wallpaper as a timeless base

The crocodile marking is the classic within this segment. A design like the Big Croco by Elitis shows why: the scaled relief catches the light across countless small facets, so the wall shifts in character throughout the day. In a dining room or library with deep, dark tones, a crocodile hide works almost like panelling — crisp, confident and grounded. In softer shades such as taupe, pearl grey or sand, the same marking turns refined instead, ideal for a hallway or the wall behind the bed.

Appaloosa and spotted coats

Beside the reptile markings, the spotted coat is the second face of this theme. The Appaloosa design by Elitis, inspired by the dappled coat of the Appaloosa horse, is the finest example. The irregular flecks bring calm and rhythm at once and combine more easily than you might expect. Set this design against a plain wall or a quiet textured wallpaper, and the flecks become the still centre of the room rather than a shouting statement.

Tiger print and exotic markings

For those willing to go further, a tiger print adds movement and drama. The drawn stripes are bold, yet in a clearly defined role — a cloakroom, a niche, a single wall in a dressing room — they stay stylish rather than overwhelming. Markings like these sit naturally alongside the more lavish moods you also find in our jungle wallpaper and the broader animal wallpaper, letting you carry a single thread right through the house.

Material and placement of animal hide wallpaper

The success of animal hide wallpaper lies in balance. Because the marking already does so much, you are best keeping the rest of the room quiet: natural materials, a single warm metallic and fabrics without a busy pattern. Vinyl versions are hard-wearing and easy to wipe, which also makes them suitable for harder-working spaces. Unsure how many rolls you need, work it out in advance with our wallpaper calculator. That way you know exactly what to order for a wall that feels dressed rather than merely papered.
