Its fun to decorate a room with a jungle theme, no matter what age you are. However, if you are decorating a jungle themed room for a child, you will need to get some ideas to help you create a room that they will love to stay in.
First, you need to paint the walls. You want to use a particular color that makes you think of the jungle when you look at it. This color may be orange, tan, gold, or green. You and your child may need to take your time and go through the color wheel to find the right jungle color. Most of the jungle rooms are painted a solid green color.

Now that you have the walls painted, you need to add some life to it, wildlife that is. You want to find a few animal stencils or the clings that you can peel and place anywhere you choose without tearing off the paint. You can also find wallpaper borders that will provide the jungle animals for your wall. Cut them out and place them in different patterns all over the wall.
The floor is going to also be fun to decorate. You can use animal print area rugs. These faux fur animal print rugs will be comfortable on his or her feet when they are running through the jungle. Bamboo rugs may be the rugs to choose for a jungle room.
Next, you want to create a tree house but they won't be able to use it for real. You can paint a tree or stencil a tree in the corner of the room. Make a ladder out of thick rope and wooden dowels that will resemble a ladder going into their tree house. If possible, place a nightlight in their tree house or hang Christmas lights up outlining the tree so at night their room will not be dark. This will be a comfortable look for his room.
Next, you want to add some accessories that will complete the look of your jungle themed room. Take a stump or a few pieces of lumber that can be made into a wood bench. You can purchase these at any home improvement store or you can make them yourself. Just make sure that you treat the wood before you bring it into the house to get rid of the bugs that may be in it.
You can buy artificial green ferns that will stand tall and in every corner except for the corner with the tree in it. These green ferns will make the jungle theme seem even more real.
Add some tiger print throw pillows to his bed and a jungle print comforter. If you can't find a jungle print online or at your local store then use a solid color so you know it will blend in with the theme. It can be solid brown, green, or blue.
