Styling a Safari Themed Nursery for Your Little Adventurer

Welcome to the world of adorable nursery decor! Creating a safari themed nursery for your new bundle of joy is a delightful way to spark their sense of adventure right from the start. With a touch of wildness and charm, your little one's nursery can become a haven of exploration and imagination. In this blog post, we'll guide you through the exciting process of styling a safari themed nursery, from choosing the perfect decor to adding those final touches that make the space truly enchanting.

Setting the Scene with Safari Nursery Decor

Creating a safari atmosphere starts with selecting the right nursery decor. Let's explore some key elements that will transform your baby's space into a whimsical wildlife wonderland:

1. Nursery Wall Stickers: Add a touch of magic to the walls with safari-themed wall stickers. These removable decals are easy to apply and can be rearranged as your little one grows. From adorable jungle animals like elephants, lions, and giraffes to lush green trees and vines, wall stickers instantly bring the safari spirit to life.

2. Earthy Colour Palette: To create a safari-inspired oasis, opt for earthy tones that mimic the natural hues of the wild. Warm sandy beige, lush greens, and touches of burnt orange or golden yellow can bring a sense of warmth and adventure to the nursery. Consider painting the walls in a soft neutral shade and add pops of colour through bedding, curtains, and accessories.

3. Animal Prints and Patterns: Introduce playful animal prints and patterns to enhance the safari theme. From bedding and curtains to rugs and throw pillows, incorporating zebra stripes, leopard spots, or even elephant motifs can add a touch of wildness to the nursery. Don't be afraid to mix and match patterns for a visually stimulating space.

Essentials Safari Nursery Furniture

Now that you have set the scene with safari-themed decor, let's explore some essential furniture pieces that will complement the theme and provide comfort and functionality for your little one:

1. Safari-inspired Crib: Choose a crib that matches the safari theme, such as a crib with animal-shaped details or a wooden crib with jungle-inspired carvings. Ensure the crib meets safety standards and features a comfortable mattress for your baby's peaceful sleep.

2. Cozy Rocking Chair: A comfortable rocking chair is a must-have for late-night cuddles and feeding sessions. Opt for a chair upholstered in a safari-themed fabric or accessorise it with animal-print cushions for a touch of whimsy. This cozy corner will become your go-to spot for soothing your little explorer. Check these Mamas and Papas nursing chairs.

3. Storage Solutions: Keep the nursery organised with safari-inspired storage solutions. Woven baskets like these resembling mini treasure chests can store toys, blankets, and baby essentials, while animal-shaped bookshelves provide a playful yet practical touch. Incorporate storage units that blend seamlessly with the safari decor, making tidying up a breeze.

Bringing the Safari Theme to Life

To make the safari theme truly come alive in your baby's nursery, consider adding these final touches:

1. Soft and Snuggly Rugs: Lay down a plush rug that resembles a grassy savannah or features animal prints. This will provide a cozy play area for your little one and enhance the safari ambiance. Check out these gorgeous options of rugs from Great Little Trading Company.

2. Jungle-inspired Mobile: Hang a safari-themed mobile above the crib to captivate your baby's attention. Choose one with hanging safari animals or delicate fabric leaves to add a touch of enchantment to the nursery. This one at John Lewis is super cute!

3. Leafy Green Curtains or blinds: Complete the look with leafy green curtains that mimic the lush foliage of the jungle. Opt for light, sheer fabrics to allow natural light to filter through, creating a soothing and airy atmosphere. These from Dunelm are a beautiful option.
