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.
