Balanced Furniture

While you may want some of your furniture to stand out, you don't want it to clash.  Balance the furniture in your safari-inspired room by mixing simple, neutral pieces with patterned statement pieces like this living room found on InHouseLand.Blogspot.com.

This is no surprise.  What would a safari be without the animals?  Whether you want to cover your room in cheetah print or prefer something more understated, these ideas will inspire you.

Texture

Whether it's your walls or floors, a little bit of texture brings a whole lot of beauty to your themed design.

Jungle Palette

The most basic part of your safari-inspired room is its color palette.  Combine neutrals with warm colors like dark orange for the perfect effect.
