Get An Inexpensive And Easy Bedroom Safari look Without Buying New Furniture

You don't have to go on a Safari to give your bedroom an exotic look.

When you buy a new outfit it is greatly enhanced with jewelry, scarves and purses for women and ties for mens suits. A bedroom is no different! You can add character to your bedroom décor with a few inexpensive accessories.

To get ideas on how to implement your safari decor you can look at magazines or even surf the web and pay special attention to the accessories used so you can buy the same for your bedroom. To keep the safari look consistent, you need to stick to only buying those accessories you have determined you need to complete the look of the room.

Color choices for a safari décor should be neutral but exotic at the same time. Think about the colors in the jungle and desert areas – 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.

Incorporate animals and animal prints into your bedroom by using figural lamps and other accents that will help bring out the safari 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.

You can use artwork on your walls to compliment your safari decor but make sure you hang them correctly. Most people don’t know how to properly hang wall décor so the rule of thumb is to pace the piece with the middle at eye level. If you have a rather large piece of artwork try using it as a headboard. Hang your safari themed pictures seven to ten inches above a table. Hang pictures in circular triangular or rectangular groupings to add interest.

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 safari theme you want to create. Lamps with animal print shades or bases that depict tigers elephants or other animals can look great in your bedroom.

You can also add interest to your bedroom with area rugs that match your theme. Resting furniture on the rug will help anchor it in the room. Remember to only use rugs that compliment your safari accessories.

Pillows piled up at the top of the bed can add an aura of comfort to your bedroom. Try varying the style color and pattern of the pillows to add interest but always keep within your chosen theme.

Remember to have fun while decorating your bedroom. Spend your time shopping around to get that perfect piece that enhances the safari theme in your bedroom. Try antique stores, consignment shops or flea markets for ideas. There are many craft books available that you can also explore. Accessories are what turn a bedroom from a room to a designer showplace so get creative and turn your bedroom into the best room in the house!
