Follow These Tips For African Safari Decor

African safari decor can easily be incorporated into any room by following several of these steps.

1. Use clusters of lots of plants with pointy leaves such as the yucca. Then purchase spot lights to shine up from the floor onto the plants. When these are the only lights on in the room they create mysterious plant shadows on the walls. You can almost hear the sounds of the wild, now. Purchase spot lights at your local home improvement store. Use a bulb that is especially for plants. This will give your greenery the extra light it needs to grow healthy and stay green.

2. In safari décor large accent pieces work better than a bunch of little knick knacks. Much easier to clean around too! Consider a large dark colored metal vase filled with sticks or bamboo spikes. Hold them in place with sand.

3. Paint your walls olive green, rusty brown, or rusty orange.

4. Hang bamboo shades or sew a simple loop in mosquito netting and hang on a bamboo curtain rod.

5. Accent you sofa with leopard or zebra print pillows. You can purchase animal print fabrics to make your own pillows or simply buy a yard or two and drape as it is over the sofa back and allow to puddle on the cushions.

6. Wooden masks add a splash of color and depth to the walls. Old trunks found at yard sales or auctions at interest to an empty corner. Clip wildlife photos from National Geographic and post in a simple straight-lined frames. Hang in groupings on the wall

With a little African safari decor and some planning you can give your room the mystery and intrigue of an African jungle.
