Zebra bedroom décor doesn’t sound like the best idea… until you see tasteful examples of zebra print furniture, wall art and rugs in a tastefully decorated bedroom.

That’s the aim of this photo gallery – to show you several examples of beautiful bedrooms that incorporate one or several zebra print items in décor.

While the black and white striped pattern can certainly jazz up a room and even add a dash of elegance, it’s not a print you want to plaster everywhere. This type of pattern is definitely one where “less is more.”

Take a look at the bedroom pictures above and below – you’ll notice that each incorporates only one or a very few items with zebra print, and it’s often just a small item or two such as a rug, ottoman, pillows or chair. What you don’t want to do is wallpaper the entire place in animal print… that’s simply too noisy.

Many online furniture stores offer a decent selection of zebra print items. Below our gallery, we set out a small list of online furniture stores that offer a wide array of zebra print furniture and decorative items.

Bedrooms aren’t the only room in the house where animal prints work – another popular room is the living room – check out our zebra print living room gallery here.

Here’s a safari themed bedroom that incorporates a few small items in zebra print – namely pillows on the bed and a zebra print desk chair. It definitely works well in this room being a safari theme. What I like about this bedroom décor is that it’s themed without being cartoonish or silly. It retains a true elegance. Source: Zillow Digs^TM

This spacious bedroom incorporates zebra print with an area rug adjacent to the sitting area. There are other animal print items in the room, so the zebra rug works well. That said, some people may view it a shame to cover up the beautiful wood floor with a zebra print rug. Source: Zillow Digs^TM

Here’s a terrific contemporary bedroom décor in which the zebra print ottoman works beautifully at the foot of the bed. The color scheme is neutral with white, greys and dark wood… the zebra print ties it all together. In fact, the ottoman brings the room to life. Source: Zillow Digs^TM

Here’s another safari style bedroom that’s definitely not over the top. In fact, it’s tastefully done incorporating zebra print with an ottoman. The black and white print design continues with an area rug. .

Here the ottoman at the foot of the bed is the zebra print décor item. Generally, a zebra print ottoman is the most popular furnishing or decorative element in bedrooms for zebra print décor. Clearly zebra print works really well with dark wood flooring and an otherwise white bedroom color scheme. Source: Zillow Digs^TM

Here’s an example of a kid’s room incorporating zebra print with a rug. It’s playful and lessens the brightness of the pink color motif throughout. Frankly I never would have guessed pink goes so well with black and white, but it’s striking color combination. .

This bedroom incorporates zebra print with an area rug placed on a dark wood floor, which works well. The Bed is a bright red, which I think would work better if it were a more neutral color such as dark wood. Source: Zillow Digs^TM

Here’s a girl’s baby nursery incorporating zebra print with a rectangle area rug running at an angle from the crib. The rug is serving as a runner across the room, which looks good. I think when you compare zebra print on dark wood vs. light wood flooring, you’ll agree that it works better on darker wood floors.Source: Zillow Digs^TM

Here’s a Murphy style bed with dark grey doors that blends well with the zebra print rug situated at the end of the bed. The floor is a light grey and with the white bedding and dark grey bed storage cabinet, the zebra print fits well décor-wise. Source: Zillow Digs^TM

This is an interesting example because the room is in earth tones predominately with the zebra print ottoman veering from the browns. However, the animal print is used elsewhere, namely the chaise lounge which has a quasi-leopard print upholstery. Source: Zillow Digs^TM

Here’s a great example of placing a zebra print rug under the bed. The room isn’t a large space, so the rug takes up much of the room, forming a nice visual frame for the bed. The dark bench at the end of the bed along with the white bedding creates a decent space for this rug. Again, I’m of the view that a darker floor would work even better. .
