Decorate a Bedroom with Hunting Decor
-
1
Paint the walls of the bedroom with hunting colors, such as brown, red or forest green.

2
Hang hunting-themed art. Select and hang prints or paintings of nature scenes, depicting wildlife scenes, game in motion or idyllic cabins set in the woods or on the water.

3
Place mounted game on the walls. Position large game such as bear or deer heads in the center of a wall, with fish or birds in less prominent positions.
-
4
Hang guns on the wall. Purchase a gun rack and mount it to the wall with screws and the screwdriver. Place one gun on each position on the gun rack, taking care to unload your guns first.

Select furniture. Choose a wrought-iron bed frame and a brown leather arm chair as a major accent piece. Ensure that all coordinating furniture is either iron, wood or leather.

6
Arrange fabrics in the room. Position a camouflage-themed or plaid bedspread on the bed. Place a bearskin rug in the center of the floor.

Hang two to four old lanterns on nails throughout the room to create a classic hunting feel. Empty the lanterns of fuel and clean them thoroughly.

Fill the wicker basket with pine cones to evoke a natural, forest touch to the bedroom.

Arrange wooden objects throughout the room. Place duck decoys on dressers, bookshelves or ledges. Place a carved wooden hat rack on the wall by the door. Add whittled or carved wildlife statuettes to evoke a warm, lodge feel.

Tips & Warnings
While specialty hunting stores carry mounted game, thrift stores or garage sales tend to offer significantly discounted prices.
Never leave filled or lit gas lanterns attached to your walls.
Never leave guns unattended in homes with small children.
Always store your bullets in a locked drawer away from your guns.
