A jungle-themed bedroom can be used in a nursery or bedrooms of young children, teens, and adults. Learning how to have a safari-themed bedroom involves alterations from the floor to the ceiling and everything in between.

Bedroom walls can be painted in earth tone colors such as brown, black, green, gold, and off white. Wallpaper or murals with a safari motif can cover walls or decorative borders can be applied near the ceiling or on the baseboard. Baseboard designs could resemble grass or bushes. The floor can be painted or tiled and decorated with well placed area rugs, straw mats, and large animal furs. Carpeting with earth tone colors or animals prints such as giraffe, leopard, cheetah, tiger, or zebra designs is another option.

Windows can be decorated with curtains, valances, and sheer panels in solid colors or jungle patterns. Ceiling lights incorporating decorative shades can be utilized. Ceiling fans with paddles resembling large palm leaves add to the exotic appearance. Light switch and outlet plates can be painted or covered with wallpaper or border. There are also jungle theme plates for purchase at department and lighting stores.
Furniture made from natural or dark wood, bamboo, rattan, wicker, or leather is recommended for this theme. A large selection of designs for bed frames, head boards and foot boards are available to choose from. Comforters, sheets, pillow cases, shams, skirts, and matching throw pillows are offered in jungle animal prints and designs. A canopy bed with sheers resembling mosquito netting or a comfortable hammock are other possibilities.
Dressers, benches, trunks, and chairs can be purchased in the same materials as bed frames or existing furniture can be painted or wallpapered. Changing drawer knobs is a small but noticeable detail. A clothing peg rack incorporating horns or tusks for the holders and decorative mirrors with removable animal decals also add to the theme.
Decorations such as animal figurines or sculptures, paperweights, pottery, vases, stuffed animals, and candle holders can be displayed. Animal skulls, tribal masks, and exotic animal pictures on walls add to the mood. Wicker or rattan baskets can be used as wastebaskets or storage containers. Real bamboo plants and vining plants or artificial palm, banana, or coconut trees placed in corners or around the bed provide additional effect.
Discovering how to have a safari-themed bedroom involves using earth tone colors, prints, and visual effects. These factors give the illusion of jungle life and provide a warm invitation into an exotic world.
