An Easy Bedroom Jungle Look Without Buying New Furniture

Decorating your bedroom with accessories is one of the more fun aspects of the decorating process and can result in a really nice jungle style looking room.

Just as you accessorize your outfit with jewelry and purses for women and ties for mens suits. It’s the same in the bedroom! You can add interest and style to your bedroom décor with a few inexpensive accessories.

To find the perfect implementation of a jungle theme try looking in decorating magazines and books to get a flavor of the accessories you would like to see in your bedroom. For keeping the jungle design consistent, make sure you only purchase those accessories that match your theme.

Color choices for a jungle décor should be deep and exotic. Think about the colors in the jungle – browns and greens in many shades. I like to have animal print accents with a tan base on the walls and lots and lots of plants.

Use animal prints and figural junge themed lamps and prints with monkeys zebras and elephants as accents that will help bring out the jungle in your bedroom. Accessories look nice in groups but you should always use an odd number in each group. Different heights and textures are also attractive. For example use different height and texture candles for a grouping.

Your bedroom walls can be a showcase for artwork that compliments your jungle decor hung correctly artwork can do wonders. Whether you are hanging an oil painting or an antique platter the middle of the piece should be at eye level. Art work can be used as a headboard if you have a large piece. Try leaning a tall mirror behind a bed as a head board for a dramatic look! These mirrors can be five to six feet tall. It has an amazing effect! Hang your jungle themed pictures seven to ten inches above a table. You can make a group of pictures or wall art more interesting by hanging them together in grouping.

Lighting can be a great way to add function and decoration to your bedroom. When purchasing lamps make sure to buy ones that go with the jungle theme you want to create. Lamps with animal print shades or bases that depict monkeys elephants or lush greenery can look great in your bedroom.

Area rugs can also enhance your décor. Make sure that you rest furniture on the rug to achieve a better effect. Of course you will want to buy rugs in colors that go with your jungle accessories.

Using pillows can add interest as well. Use several at the top of the bed and vary the texture colors and patterns while still keeping the color and theme within your overall bedroom design.

Try out new things while decorating the bedroom. Don’t think you have to buy everything for your bedroom at once. Shop around to find the perfect accessories to match the jungle theme in your bedroom. Try antique stores, consignment shops or flea markets for ideas. Craft books often have great ideas for stuff you can make from flea market finds. Just like the right scarf can make an outfit your accessories can make your bedroom. Use your gut feeling and enjoy the creative process!
