The safari theme is a popular choice among parents who want to style a nursery room for their latest addition to the family. That means plenty of decor options and design ideas are available to inspire your baby’s safari nursery.
Check out some of our favorite ways to create a safari-themed nursery in your home!
These safari ideas are sure to spark your creativity as you prepare to upgrade your little one’s nursery.
With the right color palette and select decor pieces, less really can be more. Leave blank space and reduce clutter to create a calm atmosphere while incorporating elements of the safari theme.
Earthy shades of green and brown in the wall paint and nursery furniture give an outdoor vibe without overwhelming the room.
You could go heavy on the floral notes in your safari nursery. A floral wallpaper will pair well with safari animal decor and nature-inspired colors.
A floral accent pillow on your nursery glider or a flowery crib mobile will help tie in the floral safari theme throughout the room.
The giraffe is a common African safari favorite for both children and adults.
Center your safari-themed nursery around this wild animal by including pops of yellow with contrasting brown, animal print fitted crib sheets, and a large giraffe stuffed animal.
If you can’t choose just one safari animal, include them all! Use pictures ofjungle animals like tigers, elephants, and monkeys as the main focal point in your baby’s bedroom.
The jungle safari theme will be clear and you can share your love for these animals with your baby from a young age.
You don’t need a lot of color to convey the safari theme. Monochrome sketches of safari animals bring a sophisticated look to your baby’s nursery.
A crib and dresser in neutral tones of white and natural wood complete the scene for any baby boy or girl’s room.
Make your baby’s room cute and practical by extending the jungle safari theme to your feeding station in the corner of the nursery.
Find a cozy blanket in a matching safari pattern to drape over the arm of your rocking chair and add a nursing cart within arm’s reach where you can set down a bottle next to small safari nursery decor.
It’s not just about the look of the safari nursery, it’s about the feel. Including textured accessories in the space fulfills the safari ambiance.
Try a rattan-framed mirror on the wall or a green, leafy plant—real or fake—in the corner of the room.
Amp up the safari theme with a hand-painted mural. Immerse the nursery in a natural setting with an accent wall dedicated to depicting the safari experience.
With this kind of focal point, all your themed decor is up on the wall leaving the floor space open for your nursery essentials.
Room decor revolving around baby animals creates a cute space for a boy or a girl’s nursery. Baby elephants, zebras, and other animals can add to the safari theme or set the stage for the entire color scheme in the room.
A safari-themed nursery mixes wild adventure with charming baby sweetness. Use these ideas to find the perfect combination of both in the design of your little one’s room.
Don’t overcomplicate the safari design. When you choose everyday nursery items that already fit the theme, you won’t need an abundance of decor.
Selecting a sage green baby crib and a nursery dresser in natural oak is a simple way to incorporate functional pieces into the safari style.
From baby animal prints to fitted crib sheets , you can add your baby’s name to a safari design for a personalized jungle nursery.
These can be saved as keepsakes once your big kid outgrows them.
The wall decor in your baby’s room contributes to the overall atmosphere of the nursery.
You can choose high-contrast portraits of wild animals to stimulate your baby’s brain development or soft watercolor paintings of nature to inspire a sense of tranquility.
Build your safari theme around a set of essential nursery furniture. The Aspen Dresser from Nurture& is a design influenced by the elements of nature and crafted from sustainably harvested wood.
This dresser can seamlessly transition to a diaper-changing station by adding the changing topper and back to a dresser later when the diaper days are behind you.
Complete your collection of nature-inspired furniture with functional storage pieces to help organize your safari nursery. A simple, yet modern wooden bookshelf can hold anything from your baby’s first board books to safari room decor.
A storage ottoman in ivory white is the perfect way to keep small toys and baby blankets out of sight when tidying up your jungle nursery.
The safari nursery design can grow with your child when you choose a bed that fits the theme and can transition to multiple stages of development.
The Milan Crib is a unique 3-in-1 baby crib with a natural wood color option and is made of sustainably sourced materials.
It can transform from a mini-crib bassinet to a full-size crib to a toddler bed, making it the perfect sleep space for your child’s newborn days through their toddler years.
As we’ve seen, you can completely customize and make the safari theme your own, which makes it a great gender-neutral nursery option!
You may stick with the earthy colors in your safari design to maintain the naturally neutral elements of this theme or pull out more feminine or masculine aspects to personalize your baby boy’s or girl’s nursery.
Whether the safari-themed nursery is built around a savanna or jungle setting, you can keep the colors neutral with green, yellow, and brown, or add pops of muted pinks and blues that fit in well without disrupting the overall theme.
With inspiration from the wild landscape of natural safari terrain, you have so many color options. Here are some color combination ideas to help you start designing your safari nursery.
Neutral earth tones set the foundation for a safari-inspired environment. Colors like brown, beige, and creamy white fall into this category.
Varying shades of green bring the depth of trees and leafy vegetation to a jungle safari nursery. Look for color names like olive, sage, and moss.
Yellows and oranges add warmth to your nursery design. Colors like mustard, blonde, and tangerine will help you create a palette like the African sunrise.
Terracotta tones like burnt sienna, brick, or canyon clay will have an earthy hint of red.
Shades of gray will add contrast to your scenery or stand out in a monochrome style. Grays with names like pewter, slate, and fog will preserve the natural ambiance of the safari theme.
Animal print colors will make a bold statement in a safari nursery. The black and white of a zebra, the gold, and brown of a giraffe, or the brown and black of a leopard stand strong in a jungle nursery.
Safari-themed wall art leaves no question about the theme of your baby’s nursery. With many options available, it’s up to you to decide what kind of wall decor you enjoy the most.
Watercolors provide soft and light decor in your nursery. This is ideal for small rooms and spaces where you want to set a calm atmosphere. Watercolor paintings of jungle scenes or baby animals would be a beautiful addition to a safari nursery.
Real-life still shots of wild animals create dramatic intrigue in your baby’s room. Your little one will grow to learn and appreciate the true identity of these grand creatures.
Similar to a hand-painted mural, you can find wallpaper that depicts a scene of the grasslands at sunset or life on a shaded jungle floor. A safari wallpaper will fully engage you in the nursery theme.
For a sophisticated take on the safari theme, consider including wall art in various forms. Assemble a mixture of illustrations and photos in different sizes and frames for an elegant safari collection.
