Jungle Safari Decor Using Animal Print Bean Bags

Enhance Exotic Decor

Spring has sprung! Time for cost-effective room makeovers using fresh new ideas and warm weather themes. For instance, consider transforming your screened porch or sitting room into a tropical paradise using a jungle safari décor.

The trend in tropical theme decor is a mix of fresh innovative accents with jungle decor to create a relaxed atmosphere. For a fresh new look that spells comfort and fun!

Place a bean bag leopard print chair next to a tall silk artificial tropical plant. Or try a dracaena plant; an easy to grow ornamental with indoor tropical plant appeal. Many people looking for cheetah print find the leopard a nice alternative.

The "dragon tree" is an especially impressive specimen. Position the bean bag chair and plant at one end of the room near a window so the plant receives adequate light.

Put an over-sized FUF Chair made from zebra print fabric against a wall that faces windows; position shade-loving flowering plants on either side. Try a daylily plant with graceful blooms on tall leafless stems, surrounded by grass-like foliage.

Arrange other plants around the room. Try "buddha's-belly," a growing bamboo plant. Or a small container gardening plant, such as festuca. A family of perennial grasses that tolerate moderate to heavy shade. The "festuca glauca" variety has lovely blue-green foliage that grows up to 12-inches tall.

Complete your tropical home décor by incorporating any of the following into the design:

• Digital pictures of beach scenes converted into sepia tone images. Place on a backdrop of papyrus; attach to a cork tile.
• Use decorative papyrus to turn plain glass candleholders into tropical beacons. Attach strands of sisal thread with wood beads, if desired.
• Attach paper lanterns in neutral colors to light fixtures.
• Use beach mats as rugs.
