If you have any of the zebra print fabric left, you could frame a piece of it as art. Also, look for other prints that you like that feature a hot pink color. Vinyl transfers are becoming popular, and many styles are now available. I've heard they are easy to apply to walls, can be changed easily, and can be bought to cover large areas.
You can check out HGTV's website for some ideas and faux finishing techniques. I did a safari themed bathroom and painted the walls with an elephant hide finish. But, you could also do giraffe, tiger stripes or leopard dots. The elephant hide finish is relatively easy. The base coat is essentially the color of elephant skin and to get the hide effect you paint on a glaze of burnt umber and use either a cotton rag (like a T-shirt), crumpled brown bag or plastic wrap wadded up and press it into the wet glaze thus removing paint. You have to keep the rag clean and change the place you use every time you press it against the wall. Time consuming but a very cool effect.
