Kangaroos in Wall Art: Celebrating an Australian Icon

Kangaroos in Wall Art: Celebrating an Australian Icon

When you think of Australia’s most iconic animal, chances are the kangaroo is the first that comes to mind. Majestic, powerful, and unmistakably Australian, kangaroos have become a symbol of the country’s wild landscapes and resilient spirit. And in home decor, they’ve earned a well-deserved place on walls across homes, cafes, and workspaces.

At Bella Home & Co, we proudly celebrate Australia’s native wildlife through art — and our kangaroo canvas prints and posters remain one of our most popular collections. Here’s why kangaroo art continues to hop its way into Aussie homes.


Why Kangaroo Wall Art Is Loved in Australia

Kangaroos represent freedom, open landscapes, and the untamed beauty of the Australian outback. Their graceful movement and distinctive silhouette make them a striking subject for photography, illustration, and canvas art.

Why It Works:

  • Instantly recognisable and culturally iconic

  • Adds character and storytelling to a room

  • Pairs perfectly with rustic, coastal, and modern Australian interiors

Whether featured in realistic photography, watercolour illustrations, or bold graphic prints, kangaroo wall art brings a sense of adventure and national pride to any space.


Where to Display Kangaroo Prints

Kangaroo wall art suits a variety of settings, from contemporary homes to countryside retreats. Here’s where Aussies love to showcase these beautiful pieces:

  • Living Rooms: A large kangaroo canvas can become the focal point in an open-plan space, especially when paired with timber furniture and earthy tones.

  • Hallways & Entryways: Welcome guests with a classic Australian symbol that instantly makes a space feel personal and warm.

  • Children’s Rooms & Nurseries: Soft, illustrated kangaroo prints are ideal for adding a playful, gentle touch to kids’ rooms and nurseries.

  • Gift Ideas: Kangaroo art makes a meaningful housewarming, farewell, or souvenir gift for locals and overseas visitors alike.


Choosing the Right Style & Size

Available in:

  • Canvas Prints: Ideal for large living areas or bedrooms. Choose A2 or A1 sizes for maximum impact.

  • Framed Posters: A practical, lightweight option for hallways and guest rooms.

  • Nursery Prints: Smaller A3 kangaroo illustrations pair beautifully with other native animal prints.

Style Options:

  • Realistic Photography: Capturing kangaroos in their natural outback settings, perfect for rustic homes.

  • Watercolour Illustrations: Soft, whimsical pieces suited to nurseries or light, contemporary spaces.

  • Graphic Prints: Bold, minimalistic designs for modern interiors.


Kangaroos in Australian Culture & Decor

The kangaroo holds a special place in Australian culture — featured on the national emblem, currency, and sporting logos. In decor, it’s a meaningful nod to home, nature, and heritage. Kangaroo wall art not only looks beautiful but also carries a sense of belonging and storytelling, making it more than just decoration.
