Zebra Posters & Prints

The zebra poster: stripes that transform a wall

A bare wall is more noticeable than you might think. Yet a single print is all it takes to bring it to life, and few animals do it as well as the zebra. Its stripes trace bold lines that guide the eye, and its black and white goes with almost everything. As a poster, this graphic quality takes on a lighter touch: you frame it in minutes, move it around, refresh it with the seasons, without ever giving up on elegance.

At MyselfMonArt, a creative studio founded in Toulouse in 2022, every image is selected and then retouched by hand by our art direction team: the contrasts, the light, the accuracy of the colours. Your poster is then printed to order, in high definition, on genuine 250gsm photo paper, edge to edge, for a crisp, luminous full-bleed finish.

What does the zebra symbolise?

If the zebra is so loved in interior decor, it is also because of the story it tells. Its black and white stripes balance each other without ever fading away. They are unique to each animal, like a signature. And this great traveller of the savannah lives in a herd, an image of shared freedom. A zebra print is a little of that harmony of opposites hanging on your wall, and an invitation to travel.

Which zebra poster should you choose?

The black and white zebra print, photographic elegance

Black and white never goes out of style, and nothing shows off the pattern better. The wild gaze in black and white draws you into the heart of the coat, in a striking face-to-face. The zebra in the snow captures a moment of winter held in suspense. And the intimate portrait with golden stripes emerges in chiaroscuro against a black background. In a room full of colour, a black and white zebra poster gives the eye a place to rest; in a pared-back setting, it becomes the wall's signature. This optical play also inspired Victor Vasarely, whose painting Zebras (1937) is often described as one of the very first works of op art. It sits naturally alongside our other black and white posters.

Colour, for pop energy

Colour, meanwhile, brings a breath of pop. The rainbow zebra unrolls multicoloured stripes full of energy, waking up a white wall and a child's room alike. To carry this spirit further, discover our pop art posters.

African spirit, for graphic warmth

The zebra with tribal patterns and copper ochres warms the wall with its earthy tones, while the African mother and child with zebra patterns turns the stripe into clothing, in a tender, graphic illustration. Pair them with our African posters and prints, and draw styling ideas from our guide to African decor.

Framing your zebra print

You have two options. Choose No frame and you receive the print on its own, ready to slip into a standard shop-bought frame of the same size, or into a made-to-measure frame for larger sizes: slim and black for a gallery look, pale wood for a softer feel. Choose With frame and it arrives ready to hang, in four finishes: white, matte black, light oak or walnut, in 30 × 40, 60 × 80 or 75 × 100 cm (11.8 × 15.7, 23.6 × 31.5 or 29.5 × 39.4 in). The White border option adds a margin around the image, much like a mount: the stripes have room to breathe and the whole piece gains in refinement.

Prefer an artist's-studio feel, with no frame at all? A print can also hang between two wooden poster hangers, or from discreet clips on a taut wire. For a large size, spread the hanging points evenly: our tips for hanging safely will help.

Where should you hang a zebra poster?

• In the living room: above the sofa, aim for a print, or an arrangement, covering between half and two thirds of the width of the furniture. A 75 × 100 or 90 × 120 cm (29.5 × 39.4 or 35.4 × 47.2 in) makes a real statement. More ideas among our living room posters.
• In the bedroom: a black and white version above the headboard brings a hushed elegance, perfect for calm. Discover our bedroom posters.
• In a child's room: children recognise the zebra at first glance. The rainbow print or the tender African mother and child feel right at home there, as do our kids' room posters.
• In the entryway or hallway: a portrait format sets the tone from the doorway. Discover our entryway and hallway posters.
• In the home office: the clean lines of a black and white zebra structure the space without distracting. Discover our office posters.
• In a bathroom or toilet: the little graphic touch, with a dash of humour, that takes everyone by surprise. Choose a well-ventilated wall, away from water splashes.

To find the right size, the pointers in our guide how to choose the right size of wall art apply to posters too.

Creating a gallery wall around the zebra

Posters are made for gallery walls. Start with a zebra print as the centrepiece, then surround it with pieces that echo it: other animals of the savannah, such as the lion poster, nature prints or black and white images. Three rules are all you need:

• a common thread: the palette (black, white, ochre) or the theme (the savannah);
• one family of frames, or two finishes that complement each other, such as matte black and light oak;
• even spacing, 5–8 cm (2–3 in) between each print.

Lay your prints out on the floor first to find the right balance. A symmetrical pair above a bed, a trio in a row above a sofa or a grid of six prints on a large wall: the scale is yours to choose.

Zebra poster or canvas?

A poster is all about flexibility: a light, affordable photo print, ideal for a first decorating project, a gift, a rental or a wall you like to keep evolving. A canvas, stretched by hand over a solid wood stretcher, settles in as a centrepiece made to last, with the texture and depth of a true artwork. One does not rule out the other: they are two ways of bringing a wall to life. Several of our zebras come in both versions: find them in our Zebra Artwork collection.
