Collection: Pet & Animal Wall Art

The animal you would put on your wall says something about the room you want. A black cat asleep by a rainy window belongs to a quiet living room. A pair of baby monkeys curled up together belongs above a crib. This is animal wall art for walls like those, from illustrated pets to wildlife, in framed prints and gallery-wrapped canvas. Framed prints and canvas here arrive ready to hang.

Who This Collection Is For

It is for the person who wants an animal on the wall without the room turning into a theme. Most buyers who end up here fall into two camps. One is furnishing a nursery and wants nursery animal wall art that will not look babyish in three years. The other wants an animal piece for a hallway, a reading corner or a living room, with enough restraint to sit beside linen and walnut.

What Is Actually On This Page

Animal art of several kinds. Some pieces are painterly illustrations of pets in real rooms, some are soft, children's-book paintings made for a nursery, and some are wildlife on gallery-wrapped canvas. Pick by palette as much as by animal: warm cream, terracotta, soft grey and muted green let a nursery piece and a living-room piece hang in one house without arguing, while a bolder piece can carry a room on its own.

What Size Animal Wall Art Should You Buy?

Above a crib or a changing table: 11x14 inch or 16x20 inch, hung well above reach. Larger tends to overwhelm a nursery wall rather than finish it.

Above a sofa or a bed: 24x36 inch or 28x40 inch. Cover roughly two thirds of the furniture width below, so a 72 inch sofa lands in that range. For a hallway or a reading corner, 16x20 inch or 18x24 inch sits better.

Animal Art as a Gift

Animal art gives well because it shows you noticed what someone cares about. A baby-animal piece is the obvious new-baby choice; a pet illustration suits a housewarming, or a birthday for someone whose cat runs the house; wildlife suits the animal lover with a big empty wall. Framed prints and canvas here arrive ready to hang.

Animal Wall Art Questions

What kind of animal wall art is in this collection?

Illustrated pets, soft baby-animal paintings for nurseries, and wildlife, in framed prints and gallery-wrapped canvas. Each product page shows its format and sizes, so the choice is the animal, then the size.

Is this safe to hang above a crib?

Our own framed prints have a shatterproof plexiglass front rather than glass, so they will not break into sharp pieces if knocked, and gallery-wrapped canvas has no front panel at all. Hang any piece well above reach, and choose 11x14 inch or 16x20 inch for a crib wall.

Will nursery animal art still suit the room in five years?

A wordless piece will, because there is no quote to outgrow. Some baby-animal designs carry no printed words and some carry their own lettering, so pick by whether you want the wall to say something or stay quiet.

What sizes does this collection come in?

Sizes vary by piece, and each product page lists its own. Tape a paper cutout of your size to the wall before ordering.
