Safari Nursery Decor

When it comes to the walls in the safari baby nursery, you have several choices. First, you can go with plain yellow, tan or green walls that will work with your child as he grows and just add safari wall hangings as highlights. Or, if you want to try out your painting skills, you can do a mural.

Safari nursery decor wall decals are also a good option and can be removed when your little one outgrows them. There are some beautiful decals at that link there, so go check them out.

If you decide to paint a mural, it can be quite simple. Pick a wall to feature and then paint the bottom half brown, the upper half orange, as in the photo. Add in your animals as silhouettes, in front of a big yellow sun. This photo mural was found at thebump.com.

Once you have the walls done, you will need to go a step further with your safari nursery decor . . . furniture and bedding! There are plenty of options for this. You can use any crib as a starting point and add in the right bedding to create the safari feel.

Cribs aren't the only furniture you'll need though! You'll want to have a changing table, a dresser and perhaps another accessory or two. I've gathered some of the best ones out there for you to choose from below.

Even with the wallpaper border and bedding, your baby's safari nursery decor just wouldn't be complete without the finishing touches. These can be anything that you buy or make yourself. It really is the little things that count.

Safari details don't need to be expensive. You might stencil a zebra or a lion on the back of the wooden rocking chair, or add a little zebra floor rug. If you're crafty, there are a lot of things you can add, such as wall hangings, mobiles and even the baby's clothing. Some ideas . . .

- Iron-on transfers to put cute animals or leaf prints on clothing, sheets and wall hangings
- Safari cross-stitch kits for birth records and more.
- Crochet safari stuffies to decorate your baby's nursery.

I'm sure you'll come up with plenty more ideas, but here are a few products that can really add a special touch to your safari nursery decor.
