safari themed bedroom?

cheetah girls bedroom decor image

Natalia

I want to add some color and excitement to my room. i recently moved and got stuck with my parents' old furniture and bed set. don't get me wrong i like it but its a little too old for my taste and I want to liven it up a bit. i'm a 17year old girl and i was just wondering if anyone could show me links or something to a safari/leopard/cheetah/african themed bedroom online or places where i could purchase decor. I still want to keep my room looking sophisticated but just more fun. thanks for everyone who submits!

Answer
I have to say I admire you for stepping out and daring to be different. I love the Safari/British Colonial/Mediterranean look. I have used this look in my own home, as well as other properties I have worked on. The end result was great sophistication and visual appeal with pizazz.

Some of the best places I have found to begin building the look for a fraction of the cost are TJ Maxx has tons of items relating back to this theme. Great Prices too! Also, Marshalls, Home Goods stores, Odd Lots, Big Lots, Ocean State Job Lots, etc. all have furniture with animals on them, palm trees, bedding, decorative plates, vases, candle holders, animal print sheets, artwork all really good prices.

No one would ever know where the stuff came from, and would think you were very well traveled and actually visited around the globe to get all these great items. Also, consider purchasing old leather steam trunks to not only look great, but store stuff in. Stack several medium sized ones for bedside end tables. Check Ebay and your local www.craigslist.com

Consider making you own canopy out of mosquito netting, or buying one to hang above your bed. Check ebay under mosquito netting canopy. Sells for $10.99 in a multitude of colors or more ornate mosquito canopies go for $39.95 on ebay.

Lastly, I have always gotten my inspiration from Ernest Hemingway and what his home looked like during his African adventures that he wrote about. It reflected well travelled individual with global rustic elements. This look can be achieved without the cost of travelling to find your treasures.

I like the pink and leopard print idea, but you might want to consider using a simple brown comforter and accenting with the leopard stuff. Otherwise,you might get sick of it. Hope you like some of the things I found for you. Good luck!

i think jenny's idea are pretty good, at the end of the day you want to be sure that it is you and what you want. especially with a bedroom you want to make sure it has your personality. my little sister is pretty crazy about holidays and she got some small decorations from homeseasons.com and she likes it.

what are some homemade room decorating ideas for a teen bedroom?

Cassidy B

my bedroom is zebra and like hot pink... do you have any ideas?

Answer
Make your own artwork using paints and similar sized pieces of cardboard. Hang black & white photos or posters in frames. If they are different sizes, just make sure that the frames are all the same color (black or silver for instance). You can get inexpensive frames at your local dollar stores. Maybe solid color curtains and throw pillows for your bed in various shades of pink? IKEA has a neat set of sheer curtains in a dark pink that just pops, and also carries various decor pieces (bowls, candle holders and candlesticks) in various shades of pink.
