In the Jungle: a Jungle Themed Nursery for a Girl

June 18th, 2010

While a jungle themed nursery might appear to be boy dominated, it doesn’t have to be. Jungle theme nursery ideas are just as well-suited to a baby girl. It will offer you a variety of ways to design and create a beautiful nursery that is welcoming, charming and totally unique to your little (girl) adventurer. While a nursery is of course a place for your baby to rest and sleep, it should still provide an element of stimulation – the color of the walls, the shapes and designs of wall art or a wall mural and the patterned and textured surfaces of nursery crib bedding and the other accessories in the room will help stimulate baby’s brain activity. Jungle animals prowling around her crib will set her on a safari adventure she is sure to remember!

For a jungle themed nursery for a baby girl that will be perfectly adorable, select “girlie” pastel jungle colors like sunset pinks, twilight lavenders, lion pelt yellows and rainforest greens. Using soft neutrals like beige, white, cream and taupe are good color choices for doors, baseboards, windows and even the ceiling. As accent shades on one or two of the nursery walls, you can use deeper shades like burgundy, purple, rose, forest green or parrot blue.

As in a grownup’s bedroom, because the crib is the natural focal point of the nursery, it’s important to select a distinctive style that you are comfortable with. Since the nursery is like no other room in your home, the baby furniture you choose doesn’t necessarily have to match the overall décor style of the other rooms. Or you could select a crib like the Dream on Me Bristol 2 in 1 Convertible Crib that can be interpreted as a several décor styles including, country, contemporary and traditional.

Once you’ve decided on the baby furniture you would like for your jungle themed nursery, including any additional pieces to the nursery basics (crib, changing table, dresser), you’re ready to dress the crib and then accessorize the room. Everything from lamps to wall art to area rugs and window treatments are available in patterns and colors that will be ideal for a jungle theme girl nursery.
