Living
in the wilderness (or at least feeling like you do) requires a
bed appropriate for the elements. And since most beds seem way
too civilized for rainforest dwelling, a custom theme bed in a
more appropriate design might be in order. Consider a custom
tree house bed, for example, with a wide tree trunk he or she
can climb inside and a raised leafy wooden platform where he or
she can sleep.
Not
only does this create a natural loft bed, but it can also be
built as a canopy bed, with the tree's leafy foliage canopy
providing shelter, shade, privacy, and protection overhead.
Colors
for a Jungle Safari Themed Bedroom
The
most obvious colors to use in a jungle safari themed bedroom are
varying shades of greens and browns. These can form the base of
the room's color scheme, and will surely be the predominant
colors used in the room's centerpiece - the custom theme bed
(and its bedding, custom or otherwise).
From
there, however, you have the same vast palette of vibrant colors
as Mother Nature herself in filling out your child's rainforest
fantasy. Bright reds and yellows evoke the exotic flair of
tropical flowers and birds.
Don't
Forget the Animals
Speaking
of which, no jungle safari would be complete without members of
the animal kingdom populating the landscape. Birds, for
starters, are a must, such as parrots, macaws, toucans, etc.
From there you can include tigers, elephants, lions, gazelles,
zebras, leopards, giraffes, cheetahs, and such peeking through
the dense foliage, be they painted into murals on the room's
walls (or the walls of the custom theme bed) or incorporated
into other bedroom elements like the bedding, supplementary
furniture, and accessories. You can even include several stuffed
animals, large and small, to fill out the picture.
The
Ground Beneath Their Feet
Zebra,
giraffe, and leopard print area rugs make perfect floor
coverings for a jungle safari themed room. Beyond that, green
carpeting can emulate the grassy forest floor while browns,
whether hardwood or soft mats, evoke the dirt appropriate for
both a jungle floor and a child's bedroom or, if you prefer,
fallen leaves.
