Your den is a nice spot for watching tv in a cozy place and I can't think of a better way to enjoy it then to remodel it with a tropical safari decor.
Even if you don't have a lot to spend you can produce a safari look in your den by changing minor things, for instance adding a wallpaper border and Putting together your knick knacks and photos to incorporate some adventure to the room. Don't be scared to change things like your the paint, the lighting, decorative items, and the flooring and your sofa and chairs.
It's not critical that you coordinate your sofa, chairs, and coffee table but the den should have plenty of plain but comfortable furnishings. To really enhance the safari theme, go for furnishings with stained wood.
One big change to question when decorating your den with a safari decor is your wall treatments. For this design theme the colors are important - consider adding tans and khaki and greens either in your wall color or your accessories. Try using a plain paint in netural tones on the walls, or you might try faux paint for a stucco look. You don't have to get too fancy or spend a lot of money and if you are afraid of too much color, just paint the walls a neutral palette and let the accents in the room do the decorating.
The floor covering can make a big difference, but if it costs too much for new floors for your den then work with your floors by covering them with area rugs that have a safari look. If you are lucky enough to be able to afford new floors, consider tile or hardwood or faux animal skin area rugs.
Lighting is key in your home and the den is no exception. To match your safari decorating style, you will want to look at light fixtures in terms of style as well as type. If you are incorporating a safari decorating style, you might want to look at using ceiling fans with palm leaf blades with lamps that depict animals such as monkeys, elephants or tigers but Remember to shy away from anything which is modern and contemporary style chrome or artglass lighting. The majority of dens can work with a ceiling fixture in addition to table lamps.
How you dress your windows are important to your safari theme. For a magnificent look in your den you should try working with plain curtains made from canvas cloth with tabbed tops or sheers with a safari print valance. There are lots of treatments that go with this design theme, particularly if you match them to other elements in the room, however you should avoid anything with excessive ruffles.
Decorative accessories are essential to pulling your safari look together. Even if you can't change anything else in the room - you can get a new look by adding different decorative accessories! Concentrate on picking knick knacks, photos and pillows, in that compliment your safari decorating style. You'll be amazed at how simple and economical it is, and what an incredible difference these changes make! Be certain to add in lots of jungle animal prints combined with plants and you ought to even try a few figures and knick knacks with zebras. lions and elephants to really spruce up your den. Supplementary items like safari related memorabilia can make your room look like it came out of a magazine.
One big aspect that you should work on when redecorating is the wall space. You can make even the plainest walls look interesting by using great accessories and wall art. Try adding safari and animal prints to your den walls to really bring out the exotic feel of your safari design.
Attaining a great safari look in your den can be as difficult or simple as you want it to be.
