Love the jungle and cannot get enough of it? Why not do up your home in a jungle theme. Choosing leopard bedding will give you a big start on a bedroom jungle theme. Classy and distinctive, the pattern will give you a basis for the rest of the décor. Animal prints of all types have remained timeless classics in both, fashion as well as home décor.

Start by purchasing the finest set of leopard bedding you can afford. There are bed-in-a-bag sets of leopard bedding from five to eleven pieces including comforter, pillow shams, sheets and even pillows. Leopard prints work especially well if the comforter is made of faux fur, to give the impression of the big cat’s own coat. You can go all the way with leopard “everything,” or you can change out the look with solid-colored sheets that harmonize with the comforter and pillows.

Leopard Bedding To Create A Jungle-Themed Bedroom

Look for the finest quality sheets available. Finding such sheets can be tricky, as the old standard of relying on “thread count” has become more complicated in recent years. “Thread count” indicates the number of vertical and horizontal threads in a one-inch fabric square. In theory, a higher thread count means better quality but quality also depends on the thickness of the thread as well as how the fabric is treated and how it is woven together. It’s worth the effort to spend time inquiring about these details, in order to get leopard bedding that both looks good and gives you a good night’s sleep.

Leopard print bedding will add warm tones to the room, so you need to make some choices in coordinating the rest of your décor. You can stick to the warm colors that are inherent in a leopard’s coat, such as tan, brown and black or you can contrast the tones of the bedding with the cool greens of the jungle.

If you opt to stick with complementary warm colors, you still have options. You can paint the walls tan or khaki to highlight the vivid patterns in the leopard bedding, but how about putting gleaming black frames around some animal prints above the bed? Or perhaps a black leather armchair in one corner? You could inject high-energy into the room with some throw pillows in yellow, red or orange.

Perhaps you’d like a more tranquil sleeping chamber. Imagine how restful your bed would look if you painted a jungle mural behind it! Paint the other walls in a light-to-medium green to draw attention toward the mural. If you’re artistically inclined, try painting the mural yourself with various shades of green, using different size brushes and perhaps a pop of red or orange flowers. Leopards are excellent climbers and fond of trees, so your leopard bedding will look right at home.

Finally, think ecologically, for the sake of preserving some habitat for real-life leopards. Choose bedroom furniture made from wicker or bamboo, a renewable resource. Also use nontoxic paint with low to no volatile organic compounds. Hang bamboo shades on the windows and be sure to include live plants on hooks or in terracotta plant pots.
