In the Jungle: a Jungle Themed Nursery for a Boy

June 11th, 2010

Jungle animals like lions, zebras, hippos and tiger are exotic and exciting, bringing with them a sense of delicious danger and adventure. It is also the place where monkeys swing from tangled vines and giraffes nibble on rainforest leaves. A jungle themed nursery for a baby boy is an ideal way for you to introduce your little one to bright colors and interesting shapes. While a jungle nursery creates excitement and an adventurous atmosphere, it also has a whimsical appeal that comes from life in a warm, tropical place that exists half a world away. A jungle nursery will provide an energizing and refreshing place for your new baby boy.

 When capturing the sights, sounds and flavors of a jungle environment, select colors (shown here from Benjamin Moore) that reflect the hues of jungle foliage, an African sunset or the pelts of the strange and wonderful creatures that live there. Once the nursery has been painted, you will have time to figure out if, what else you would like to do to the walls. With a jungle theme, the possibilities are endless; anything from a mural of a pride of lions to a wallpaper border of blue hippos.

When choosing a style of baby furniture for a jungle nursery, select one that has simple lines and relaxed profiles like contemporary, transitional or even country. The crib you choose will definitely be the focal point of the room. To make your nursery functional as well as esthetically appealing, the changing table and dresser should either match or complement the crib. The Sorelle City Lights 4 in 1 Commuter has such simple lines and an adaptable contemporary style that it is an excellent candidate for mixing and matching with other décor styles for a décor design that is unique.

The Maddie Boo Parker 3-piece Baby Crib Bedding Set is a perfect way to dress the crib for a jungle nursery. The crib bedding set has a predominately blue pattern with plenty of jungle animals. It also includes subtle stripes in a soothing complementary green. This delightful crib bedding set will create the perfect mood for a cozy nap or (hopefully) an uninterrupted night’s sleep.

In addition to the basic nursery furniture needed to put your child to sleep and to change him, you will need a place to store those cute onesies and other articles of baby clothing, as well as the onslaught of toys and books the grandparents and family friends will bring when they come to visit. Storage such as a bookcase, a toy chest or an armoire will play an important role in a jungle themed nursery. Don’t forget to accessorize. By adding a jungle themed rug, table lamp, curtains or wall art, it will make your jungle nursery a special place for your little Tarzan to grow and dream.
