A Jungle Bedroom Theme is something you can really have a lot of fun with and there are SO many great ideas. The kid bedroom decorations alone for the jungle theme are endless.

The Walls

There are many different options when it comes to the walls for a jungle bedroom theme. First decide how detailed you want to go on the walls and if you want just trees for that rainforest look, or if you want to add some jungle animals.

*Budget Tip: Try decorating with a few framed posters.

You can also get by with solid color walls and add the punch to the room with bedding and accessories. Let's briefly go through all the ideas one by one:

*Painting is something that you can do a lot with. It can be as simple as painting all the walls the same color or if you are a little more brave there are some fantastic painting techniques out there. For more detailed information you can go to the All About Walls page and it will help get you started.

Some good basic colors for a jungle bedroom theme are green, tan, blue or off white. The main thing to remember when choosing your paint colors for any bedroom theme, is that it compliments your bedding and accessories. If you have found the perfect jungle pillow and there is a color you want to pull from it, take it to the paint store and have them match it for you.

*Murals is another option and can be a really FUN one for a jungle bedroom theme. There are some amazing jungle wall murals out there and believe it or not...some of them you can do by yourself. "I'm not and artist" you say! No problem! There are some do-it-yourself mural kits that you can do in a day. These paint-by-number kits are a great way to spruce up a wall and they are FUN!

We highly recommend these wall stickers.They are super easy to apply, leave no residue on your walls when removed, are waterproof and can turn a simple ordinary room into a real jungle in minutes!

Some mural ideas for a jungle bedroom theme are: (1) a rainforest; (2) a few trees and animals like zebras, giraffes, elephants and monkeys; (3) or your son in a tree with binoculars viewing all the different life a jungle holds.

Wallpaper is another option for this boy bedroom theme. There are wallpaper borders that are basically like stickers that go on the wall pretty fast. You could pick out a jungle print to put in middle of the wall and then paint the rest of the wall with a coordinating color. Or put the border at the top of the wall where it meets the ceiling. There are also wallpaper cutouts that can go around a window, bed or dresser mirror to add little accents to your jungle bedroom theme.

The Bed

Good ol' bunk beds or a loft bed would be perfect for a jungle bedroom theme. You can coordinate the bed to be a part of the walls. For example: paint tree branches around the loft bed so that it gives it a tree house feel; or it could be his very own banana tree, including some monkey friends of course!

You can also take a regular twin bed and let your imagination go. The headboard could be the head of his favorite jungle animal like a lion or a it could also be a banana or palm tree.

Mosquito netting is a MUST when seelping in the jungle! Take a staple gun and attach it to the ceiling or make a wall canopy out of it. It doesn't have to be expensive. It's just takes some creativity to make a jungle bedroom theme a reality!

The Bedding

If you are going to go all out with the walls it's best to tone the bedding down a bit. Some bedding colors that go great with a jungle bedroom theme are tans, blues, greens or even bright reds. If you decide to go with a solid color comforter you can add a spalsh of color with the pillows.

There are some great patterned bedding sets out there for a jungle bedroom theme. For example: bedding with all the wild animals of the jungle (giraffes, monkeys, elephants, tigers and brightly colored birds)or bedding with all the trees you would find in a jungle. Don't forget about the sheets and bed skirt either!

The Windows

Window treatments are another thing to consider that can give a room a very finished look. Before shopping for them you need to ask yourself what you need window treatments for. Do you need them for privacy or just for decoration?

If privacy is what you need wood blinds orshutters will look very nice.

As far as curtains and valances, any jungle animal print that coordinates with your walls and bedding will look great. You can also go a little simpler with a tan fabric or ivory sheer fabric. To really dress up the window you can wrap vines around the curtain rod or hot glue giant palm leaves to it. The windows can be a lot of fun in any boy bedroom theme.

The Accessories

Now for the accessories! Have fun with this part, but don't over do the kid bedroom decorations. It can make a room seem messy and cluttered. Here is a list of accessory ideas for your jungle bedroom theme:

* Banana Tree Floor Lamp
* straw hats ( you can hang these on the wall)
* binoculars
* Stuffed Animals (zebras, elephants, tigers or monkeys)
* jungle posters or
* jungle comstumes at shindigz.com(for their imaginative play and for decoration)
* wooden ladders

* animal knobs or pulls for furniture
* vines

Every kid loves stuffed animals and they are also a great decorating choice. These stuffed animalswill make a great addition to a jungle bedroom theme.

The Furniture

The main piece of furniture that we already covered was the bed, but there are some other pieces of furniture that will compliment your jungle bedroom theme. What is the purpose of furniture? To be used!! Choose pieces that not only suit your boy bedroom theme well, but that also are functional. Here are some examples:

* Lion Ottoman and Jungle Cat Ottoman

* Dresser - a dresser stained a nice wood color will go perfect with this kid bedroom theme. It not only holds clothes, but is a good place to display some of those accessories.

*Toy box or storage furniture - a bench style toy box has two purposes: it stores items and provides a place to sit. Toy boxes aren't the best place to store toys, but can be perfect for stuffed animals, blankets or out of season clothes. There are some awesome animal toy boxes and the mission style toy box is great for a jungle bedroom theme.

*Night Stand - this could also be stained a nice wood color and is a good place to put the lamp and all of your child's books about jungle animals.

The Rug

Rugs are a wonderful accent and you have many choices for a jungle bedroom theme. The size you choose depends on the size of the room and the purpose of the rug. For a room with hardwood floors choose a good size rug that has plenty of room to play. Or choose a small rug that is for decoration purposes only.

An animal print rug like zebra or tiger stripes would look very good. Or choose from the many selections that include greenery. A tan rug with palm leaves adds a nice effect and is not too overbearing. Just make sure that the rug does not clash but that it helps pull everything together from the walls to the bedding.
