The simplest way to get the ‘zebra’ in your home is to add a painting or wallpaper. The zebra is a symbol of goodness, warmth and simplicity, and therefore adding zebra wallpaper or painting is considered decent. There are a few things that you must consider before you choose anything.
Firstly, the small rooms need to be designed with minimal colors, so that the attention remains on the main poster/wallpaper/painting. Secondly, make sure there aren’t too many items around the main zebra because the animal itself is a huge attraction and anything extra will overshadow the beauty.

Another simple and cost effective way to add the zebra print to the interiors is to use textiles and upholstery for your furniture in the same print. It is pertinent to mention that when you design furniture in such upholstery, the attention remains completely on them, and it is best to avoid too many other details. You can choose the textile in zebra prints and get it customized for sofas, ottomans, chairs, and even divans. Avoid getting mixed colors for the cushions and other small things near to the furniture as they only create confused looks.
