Decorating Your Living Room with Animal Art Prints – My Favourite Styling Secrets
Hey there! I’m Akanksha, the artist behind Cosmic Dots.
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably stared at your living room wall more times than you can count, thinking:
"Something’s missing."
Well, let me tell you, art prints are that missing piece.
And not just any art. I’m talking animal-inspired mandala art that brings a beautiful balance of energy, emotion, and earthy charm right into your space. Today, I’m letting you in on how I style living rooms with my favorite cosmic creatures — and why they’re more than just pretty prints.
1. Let Your Spirit Animal Choose You
Every animal in my collection carries meaning.
- The Elephant stands for wisdom and protection
- The Llama brings a playful calm
- The Turtle reminds us to slow down and stay grounded
Choose the one that resonates with your vibe or let it choose you. That’s the magic of mandalas. Click here to see complete collection.
2. My art prints aren’t just wall decor, they’re bold, vibrant expressions of nature.
If your space has warm neutrals or natural textures, a piece like Turtle Glow with its radiant blues and greens can bring in a calming contrast.
Got a colourful or eclectic room? Majestic Elephant — with its rich reds, intricate golds, and vivid details — adds depth and personality without clashing. These prints are made to pop — so don’t be afraid to let them take center stage.
3. Go Big or Create a Gallery Wall
One large framed print above your couch = instant sophistication.
Or go quirky (my favourite!) with 3-4 smaller framed prints in a grid or mixed layout. Think:
🐢 + 🐘 + 🦙 = A cosmic jungle right in your lounge.
It’s art, so there are no rules, only your personal style.
4. Pair Prints with Plants & Textures
Here’s a little styling trick: Add some indoor plants, rattan textures, or a woven rug near your art. It grounds the space and creates that warm, peaceful energy we all crave at home.
Art doesn’t just hang, it breathes with the space around it
5. These Prints Make Thoughtful Gifts Too
I've had customers tell me they bought prints as housewarming gifts, birthday surprises, or even meditation space upgrades.
And honestly? That makes me happier than words can say.
Every piece I create is meant to connect with your story.
Your living room should reflect who you are, bold, grounded, playful, spiritual, or all of the above. That’s exactly what the Cosmic Creatures Collection is about.
So whether you're decorating from scratch or just looking for that one perfect piece to tie it all together, I hope you find a little magic in my art.
