do i dare? (animal print wallpaper)

the next project on my list is the upstairs bathroom that is shared by my two daughters. i am seriously considering some animal print wallpaper for the space, but have some (very) slight reservations.
here are the samples that i ordered:





here are my two favorites.

(i like that these two hold their own with the floors and counters...i felt like the lighter ones got lost.)

what do you think?
GO FOR IT?
do you have a favorite paper?
between my top two do you like the bolder one or the one that is a bit softer?

  1. GO FOR IT! Top two in the top photo are my faves. In that last photo, I like the one on the right. The one on the left feels a little too "clean" to me, the background just slightly too white. But of course hard to tell color in photos. :)

  2. I think the one on the left is more playful and the right is more sophisticated. That being said, I love them both!

  3. I love the one in the 2nd row, right side of the top picture!!!! The larger leopard print.

    Out of the two you have picked, I like the one on the right!

  4. I think out of your two favorites the one on the right will make a more attractive showing!

  5. Where are these from?? In love. My favorite is the one on the right. I think it is something your girls will grow into, while the one on the left is something they might grow out of. It can swing either way- you could add "fun" accessories now and later on glam it up and tone it down.

  7. You might like an animal print in a custom color, such as pink or blue or even a muted gray. We can make it any hue you wish at our wallpaper company TotallyCustomWallpaper.com! It will be interesting to see what you pick!

  8. I'd go for the softer of your two favorites. Really fun! (You are braver than I am!)

  10. Maybe it's a Minneapolis thing (see Jennifer's Houzz link), but I like the left. Go for it!
