An uninspired decor can make a bedroom lack any kind of personality. To give a bedroom some exotic flavor, try to decorate it using a jungle theme. A jungle-themed bedroom is simple to create and will not cost a lot of money to do.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Start by painting the bedroom walls a color that is reminiscent of the jungle. Dark greens, reds or khaki will all work. For a simpler touch, keep the wall color the same and add a jungle-themed border to the wall.

  2. Step 2

    Purchase a bed set inspired by the jungle. It can be tiger or leopard striped, or merely a color that matches the walls. You can use solid colors and add a few jungle-themed throw pillows on top of the bed.

  3. Step 3

    Add a zebra print throw rug at the base of your bed. You can also use another type of animal print to match the rest of your room’s decor.

  4. Step 4

    Hang curtains that match your wall color and perhaps add some jungle accents to them. Look for scarves that have animal prints to hang from the curtains. Window seats can also be bought to match the jungle theme.

  5. Step 5

    Select a few plants to put around the room. Indoor plants are easy to care for and will complete the jungle look. Palm plants and orchids are ideal choices for the bedroom.

  6. Step 6

    Buy a few home accents that go along with the jungle theme. It can include knick-knacks that are inspired by an African safari.

Tips & Warnings
  • Dark furniture works best with a jungle-themed bedroom.
  • Keep the jungle patterns fairly simple. You do not want to go overboard and make the room look tacky.
