How to Create a Safari Nursery Theme

Animals make a great baby theme, but if you want to get more specific, a safari nursery theme is even better. This narrows down the types of animals you'll have in the baby's room and ensures that you'll be able to create the perfect space for a little one.

Walls: Start with the walls since this is the best method of transforming a room. You can either paint or put up a mural. In most cases, the color scheme is going to be earthy, revolving around tans and browns. Try a simple tan or khaki on most walls and then do a mural on one end wall. You can easily paint a sunset with animals parading past.

Another fun option is to use wallpaper borders and decals. These are super simple to put up and can totally change a baby's room.

Bedding: A safari theme crib bedding set will help complete the theme. There are quite a few options available and it's usually easiest to buy a complete set. You'll want to have at least two on hand, with extra sheets for when things get messy.

Accessories: Everything else in the bedroom can reflect the safari nursery theme, too. Look for stuffed monkeys, hippos and giraffes for toys. You'll find cute safari rugs, lamps and even mobiles to really put the finishing touches on a room. It's fairly easy to get your baby's room looking safari like. Hang some cute animal paintings on the wall and you're done.

It doesn't have to be difficult to do a baby's theme room. For a safari theme nursery, you could easily finish it up in a couple of days, if you just paint and put up borders. Everything else comes readymade so you don't have to worry about it.
