If you are like me, you are in love with animal prints and safari decor, but a little hesitant of decorating a bedroom in this theme. I worried that it would be too overpowering and intense for my small bedroom. It took me a while, but I came up with a design that was understated but true to the theme. Here are the same steps that I followed to create an understated and elegant safari themed bedroom
Step 1: Wall Color. This will be important because Good news! If you have walls that range from off-white to shades of beige you're in luck. If not, grab your paint brush. The best backdrop for a safari theme is a warm neutral.
Light Oak Beds
Step 2: Furniture. This design works best with dark colored furniture ranging from a dark oak to black. If you have light wood or white furniture, give it a quick coat of paint to deepen the tone.
Step 3: Bedding. The selection of bed linens sets the tone and intensity of your design. You can opt for actual safari themed bedding, but often that is too overpowering for smaller rooms. if this is the case, opt instead for cream colored bedding such as a simple comforter set including the bed skirt. To add that safari touch, purchase three sheer window scarves in your safari print of choice and using heat tape, add them as an overlay to the bed skirt. Add a few accent pillows and a throw in the same pattern and you're done.
Step 4: Window Treatments. The same idea applies to your windows that we used for the bedding. A plain pair of cream drapes with a sheer border at the bottom or top. This adds that understated touch that starts to bring the room together.
Step 5: Accents. Since we have kept things understated up to this point, you can really go wild with your bedroom accessories. Think about animal figurines such as tigers, giraffes, or elephants, and don't underestimate the impact of pillar candles that now come in a variety of animal prints.
Following these steps will help you create an understated safari themed bedroom with minimal expense. So get going on your new project and let out your wild side!
