21 SAFARI NURSERY IDEAS

Safari-themed wall murals.

When decorating a safari-themed nursery, murals can add a sense of adventure and wonder. From lush jungle scenes to playful animal prints, there are a variety of safari-themed mural options to choose from. A safari mural can be a great way to create a focal point in the room and set the tone for the rest of the decor. Whether you choose a colorful mural or a more subtle and naturalistic one, a safari mural can inspire your little one's imagination and sense of adventure. And the best part? A mural can be a relatively easy and affordable idea to transform a nursery into a wild and wonderful oasis.

Safari Nursery Wallpaper 

Decorating a playful and beautiful safari-inspired nursery can be made easy with safari wallpaper designs. You can opt for all-over safari wallpaper or use it as an accent wall to create a unique and dynamic space. The key is to select a wallpaper design that complements the baby's room.

Animal Prints  

Animal prints bring playfulness and whimsy to a safari-themed nursery. From leopard spots to zebra stripes, there are a variety of animal prints to choose from, each with its unique character and charm. Animal print accents can be incorporated into nursery decor in countless ways, from bedding and curtains to pillows and wall art. Go bold with a statement animal print wallpaper, or keep it subtle with a few animal print accents scattered throughout the room.

Jungle-Inspired Wall Hangings

Jungle-inspired wall hangings can be a great way to bring the lush greenery and exotic beauty of the jungle into a safari-themed nursery. Jungle-inspired wall hangings such as woven tapestries add texture, color, and visual interest to the nursery decor while creating a sense of depth and dimensionality.

Bold and Colorful Accent Walls

An accent wall is an easy and affordable way to add personality to a safari nursery. Painting in bold, adventurous colors such as greens, oranges, and browns can inject energy and style into a safari-themed nursery. Take a more classic route with a simple solid color, painting a bold accent wall to create a focal point in the room and set the stage for the rest of the decor.

Natural Wood and Earthy Tones

Incorporating natural wood and earthy tones can be a great way to create a warm and inviting atmosphere in a safari-themed nursery. From wooden cribs and dressers to woven baskets and rugs made from natural fibers, there are many ways to incorporate these elements into the decor. Natural wood furniture can add warmth and texture to the space, while earthy tones like greens, browns, and beiges can create a sense of calm and tranquility.

Tribal-Inspired Decorative Elements

Incorporating tribal-inspired decorative elements can add a sense of cultural richness and depth to a safari-themed nursery. From woven baskets and textiles to carved wooden figurines and masks, tribal-inspired decor items can work well in a nursery design.

Safari-Inspired Lighting and Lamps

Adding safari-inspired lighting and lamps can add a sense of adventure and whimsy to a safari-themed nursery. You can also incorporate lighting that mimics the warm glow of a sunset or the soft light of a campfire to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Adding dimmer switches can also be a great way to adjust the lighting to fit your little one's needs, whether for quiet-time or playtime.

Safari-Themed Storage 

Safari-themed storage solutions come in many shapes and sizes and can help elevate your nursery. From wall-mounted shelves to cute animal-shaped cubbies and animal-inspired storage bins, they provide practical storage solutions to help keep everything organized and tidy.

Safari-Inspired accessories and accents

Safari-inspired nursery accessories and accent pieces can give a playful and adventurous vibe. Add a touch of whimsy by incorporating animal-shaped pillows, plush toys, or safari-themed mobiles above the crib. Using natural materials like bamboo or rattan can add a sense of authenticity to the decor while also feeling playful. Adding a vintage safari trunk or suitcase as a decorative piece can also be a great way to add a sense of history and adventure to the room. Whether it's a roaring lion, a gentle giraffe, or a majestic elephant, safari-inspired elements can add a touch of magic to your baby's nursery, making it a space that both you and your little one will cherish.

Creating a Safari-themed Nursery: Bringing the Wild Into Your Baby’s Room

Introduction: Designing a Memorable Space for Your Little Explorer

Are you an adventurous parent looking to create a one-of-a-kind nursery that reflects your love for the wild? Look no further! In this guide, we’ll take you on a journey to creating a safari-themed nursery that will ignite your baby’s imagination and transport them to the enchanting world of wildlife. With carefully curated decor, soothing colors, and playful elements, you can transform your baby’s room into a captivating safari oasis. Get ready to embark on this exciting design adventure, as we bring the wild into your baby’s room!

Table of Contents

Unleash your inner designer and let your creativity flow as you embark on this thrilling endeavor. Creating a safari-themed nursery allows you to infuse the room with a sense of adventure, curiosity, and exploration. Here’s how you can bring the wild into your baby’s room:

1. Choosing the Perfect Color Palette

Selecting the right color palette is essential to set the safari mood in your baby’s nursery. Opt for earthy tones, such as soft browns, muted greens, warm yellows, and sandy beiges. These colors emulate the natural hues found in the African savannah and will create a calming atmosphere for your little one.

2. Adorn the Walls with Wildlife Wonders

Transform the blank canvas of your nursery walls into a gallery of wildlife wonders. Hang safari-themed wallpaper or paint a mural featuring animals like lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and monkeys. This visually engaging backdrop will captivate your baby’s attention and foster their love for animals from an early age.

3. Safari-inspired Furniture: Where Style Meets Functionality

Invest in furniture pieces that embody the spirit of the safari while providing practicality for your baby’s needs. Opt for a crib adorned with animal motifs or carved with playful safari shapes. Pair it with a cozy rocking chair , embellished with animal-themed cushions, to create the perfect spot for bedtime stories and bonding moments.

4. Wild Accessories: Finishing Touches for an Adventurous Atmosphere

Accessories are the finishing touches that bring the entire theme together. Sprinkle the room with animal-themed decorations, such as plush toys, wall decals, and mobiles. Hang a canopy adorned with palm leaves to create a cozy nook for your baby. Integrate natural elements like bamboo blinds, woven baskets, and faux fur rugs to enhance the safari vibe.

5. Illuminating the Safari Nights

Lighting plays a crucial role in creating the right ambiance for your baby’s nursery. Opt for soft, warm lighting to evoke a soothing atmosphere reminiscent of the African sunset. Install a dimmer switch to adjust the brightness as needed, ensuring a serene and comfortable environment for both you and your little one during nighttime routines.

6. Window Treatments: Blending Style and Practicality

Choose window treatments that complement the safari theme while providing practicality. Install blackout curtains or shades to create a conducive sleep environment during daylight hours. Consider incorporating animal-themed tiebacks or valances to infuse an extra touch of safari charm.

7. Storage Solutions: Taming the Jungle of Baby Supplies

Keeping the nursery tidy and organized is essential for a stress-free parenting experience. Incorporate storage solutions that are both functional and visually appealing. Woven baskets, animal-shaped bins, and wooden crates provide ample space for storing diapers, toys, and clothing, while adding a rustic safari touch to the room.

8. Safety First: A Sanctuary for Your Little Explorer

Creating a safe environment for your baby is paramount. Ensure that all furniture meets safety standards and secure any loose cords or wires. Use corner protectors on furniture and install outlet covers to prevent accidents. Place baby gates at the entrance of the nursery to keep your little explorer safe inside their safari sanctuary.

9. Engaging Wall Art: Sparking Your Baby’s Imagination

Hang captivating wall art that sparks your baby’s imagination and introduces them to the diverse wildlife of the safari. Choose artwork featuring animals in their natural habitats, or opt for educational prints that teach your little one about different species. Not only will this stimulate their curiosity, but it will also add a visually appealing element to the nursery.

10. Comfortable and Cozy Bedding: Sleep Amongst the Wildlife

Make your baby’s bed the centerpiece of the safari-themed nursery with comfortable and cozy bedding. Look for crib sheets, blankets, and pillows adorned with animal prints or safari-inspired patterns. Soft, high-quality fabrics will provide a cozy and restful sleep environment for your little explorer.

11. Nature-inspired Flooring: Bring the Outdoors In

Choose flooring options that mimic the natural elements found in the safari. Hardwood floors or bamboo flooring can add warmth and authenticity to the room. If you prefer carpet, opt for a neutral shade that complements the color palette and adds a touch of softness to the space.

12. Creating a Reading Nook: Tales from the Jungle

Foster a love for reading by creating a cozy reading nook in the safari-themed nursery. Place a comfortable chair or bean bag alongside a bookshelf filled with animal-themed storybooks. Encourage interactive reading sessions with your baby, using different animal voices and engaging storytelling techniques.

13. Soundscapes of the Safari: Soothing and Stimulating Sounds

Enhance the sensory experience in the nursery by incorporating soothing and stimulating sounds of the safari. Install a sound machine that plays gentle nature sounds, such as rainforest ambiance or animal calls. This auditory backdrop will not only soothe your baby during nap time, but also provide a captivating environment for play and exploration.

14. Personalized Touches: Customizing the Safari Experience

Add personalized touches to the nursery to make it truly unique and special. Consider framing safari-themed photographs of your own adventures, or hang a world map to ignite your baby’s wanderlust. You can also incorporate their name or initials into the room decor, creating a sense of ownership and belonging.

15. DIY Safari Crafts: Unleash Your Creativity

Get crafty and unleash your creativity by incorporating DIY safari-themed crafts into the nursery. Create animal-shaped mobiles using felt or paper, make animal masks for imaginative play, or paint your own animal canvases. These handmade elements will add a personal touch to the room while allowing you to bond with your baby through creative activities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: How can I ensure that the safari-themed nursery remains gender-neutral ?

A1: Opt for a color palette that is not strongly associated with either gender, such as neutral browns, greens, and yellows. Incorporate animal prints or patterns that appeal to both boys and girls, and focus on creating a playful and adventurous atmosphere that transcends gender stereotypes.

Q2: Can I incorporate other themes into the safari-themed nursery?

A2: Yes, you can combine elements from other themes to add variety and personalization. For example, you could integrate a touch of jungle or tropical motifs to enhance the safari experience.

How to Create a Safari Themed Nursery for Your Little One

Sharing is caring!

NURSERY ROOM DECOR: Safari Themed Nursery Room

When it comes to designing your child’s nursery, there are endless possibilities! If you’re looking for a fun safari-themed nursery then, here are some ideas to get you started. Find some safari nursery decor to bring your nursery to life.

Are you as excited as I am?

Why Create a Safari Theme Nursery?

If you love safari animals and the idea of a safari nursery, it can be a great theme because safari animals are somewhat gender-neutral.

Just picture a room with grey elephants, monkeys, lions, and giraffes. Not to mention all of the vibrant colors that come with a safari theme. So, whether you’re having a boy or girl, safari animals can be a great choice for your nursery.

How to Create a Safari Nursery Theme

There are many different ways to create a safari nursery. You can use animal prints, safari colors, and safari décor to get the look you want.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

Safari Nursery Walls

For the walls, consider using a safari wallpaper border or mural. You could also paint an animal scene on one or more of the walls. For example, you might want to have safari wallpaper on three walls and a large mural or decal as a feature wall.

Wall decals depicting safari animals and trees would create a great safari-themed room. You could also use stickers of safari animals or trees.

If you’re feeling adventurous, try a stencil of a safari animal or scene on one of the walls. That would be great. However, if you want something already designed there are plenty of  nursery room  wall stickers out there to choose from.

Safari Themed Nursery Furniture

When it comes to furniture, you can go with safari-themed pieces and safari nursery decor or simply add some safari touches to otherwise normal furniture.

Exploring nature and animal wall arts is another creative way to create a safari theme. Versatile options like colorful lion wall arts capture a lot about the animal kingdom to give a lift to the safari–theme room. They also add a bright glow and elegance to the general appearance.

Here are some great safari-themed pieces of furniture:

Safari Changing Table

If you get a changing table for your safari nursery, consider one that has animals on it or at least features safari colors. You could also look for a Safari changing mat like the one below.

The Baby Crib and Bedding

You could also add a safari-themed border to the top of a plain changing table to give it the feel you are going for. That would make a great decoration.

A safari crib is a great choice for a safari nursery. It can be as simple as having animals or trees painted on it, or you can go with an actual safari-themed crib that has fabrics and designs featuring safari animals and landscapes.

A lion or elephant blanket would look great in your little ones’ crib. Have a search online to find cute safari bed sheets and bedding.

Safari Themed Animal Print Rug

When it comes to picking out the best furniture pieces for your safari-themed nursery, consider picking ones that are safari-like in color or theme. For example, you could use an animal print rug as a floor mat.

Having a nursery rug is a great idea because it makes the floor more comfortable for the baby. It could also help keep your child warm at night or even be used as a soft play area during the day.

Safari Animals for the Nursery

A play mat could be surrounded with cute plush toys that any baby boy or baby girl will love.

Soft safari animals like lions, elephants, and monkeys can provide hours of fun and safari-themed exploration.

You could also choose to have a few larger safari animals as part of your nursery décor. A large giraffe, lion, or elephant would look great in your safari nursery and I’m sure there are plenty of deals online to find the perfect large plush to go with your space.

Safari Bookcase

If you love safari books, why not create a safari bookcase to house them all.

For this idea, you could use safari-colored paint or stencils of safari animals to finish off the job.

You could even go all out and make it look like a real safari tree! Choose your favorite safari and jungle-themed books for toddlers and have fun choosing a collection of stories to read with your little one as they grow.

Image From Pottery Barn Kids

Safari Themed Curtains and Window Treatments

If you’re looking for window treatments to match your safari nursery, there are many options to choose from. You could use colored curtains with animal prints on them.

You might also want to consider using safari-themed valances, drapes, or blinds. Look at the different price ranges and choose something which is budget-friendly and good quality so it will last a long time.

Adding  themed touches to your nursery’s  window treatments is a great way to complete the safari look in your child’s room.

This could add style to the mix and different colors can add pop to give your room the charm you desire. You might even like some Giraffe tie backs to go with plain curtains.

Safari Themed Accessories

There are many accessories that you can use in your nursery to create the style and look you are going for. You can find safari lamps, saucers, wastebaskets, and more.

You can also find animal-themed wall art, mobiles, and clocks.

Be sure to choose accessories that match the specific look you’re going for in your nursery.

Do some research before you go shopping so you have a good idea of the nursery style you want to create.

Safari Themed Nursery Mobile

Consider purchasing safari animals for your nursery mobile. You could have musical, plush safari animals, or simply stuffed lions, elephants, and giraffes.

If you do purchase a musical mobile for your baby’s room, throw some safari animal sound effects on it so you can choose between hearing jungle sounds or safari noises.

Just imagine a safari mobile hanging over the crib with cute elephants, a monkey, a giraffe, and a lion. This would be so super cute for any gender baby to enjoy. It would look great in a baby boy or girl’s nursery.

Image from  BabyBunting

Safari Table Lamp

If you want to add a lamp to your safari theme nursery, a table lamp would be a great option. You could also use a lantern or even safari-themed string lights.

A table lamp is useful for feeding times when your little one is younger and a night light can be useful for when they are older.

Image  The Market

Safari Wall Art

There are plenty of super cute safari wall art pieces out there to use for your safari nursery. You could have safari paintings, safari animal decals, and these make adorable additions to the safari decor in your baby’s room.

You could even have safari paintings mounted on the wall in your safari nursery to create a  safari-themed focal point  in the room.

You can find reasonably priced wall art on Etsy so I’d recommend shopping on that site as it’s often budget-friendly and cheaper than a physical shop. one advantage to finding wall art on Etsy is you can buy cute digital prints and you don’t have to pay for shipping.

A Safari Name Sign

Name signs are a popular nursery item and can be personalized with your baby’s name.

You could purchase a safari-themed name sign to hang over the crib or changing table in your safari nursery.

If you want to get creative, you could even make your own safari-themed name sign. Just imagine a cute giraffe-themed sign or a wild monkey sign on the door of your safari nursery.

Image by ArtDesignsMI

Enjoy Creating Your Safari Nursery

Whether it’s a wild African safari or a jungle safari theme nursery, there are so many things you can do to make it special for your little one.

Just be sure to use safari-themed decor that is age-appropriate and will grow with your child. You can also change up the safari look as they get older to keep the room interesting for them. With a little creativity, you can easily  create an adorable safari nursery  that both you and your baby will love for years to come.

Safari Nursery Decor Ideas

01/21/2022 · In: BABY & FAMILY , HOME & GARDEN

A few weeks ago, I shared a post announcing our exciting news – we’re expecting twins. They’re due this spring! We’re so excited – and I’ve been researching nursery ideas non-stop! I’ve contemplated a lot of different designs, and love so many ideas. Since we’re having a boy and a girl, we’re leaning toward a Safari theme. It just works so well for both genders (plus, there’s so much Safari nursery decor out there to choose from!). I may want to switch things up from time to time, so I won’t be going overboard. I still plan to keep things pretty neutral. That being said, I’ve found so much adorable décor, I just have to share. We’ll be picking and choosing a few of the pieces below.

This post may include affiliate links. I may make a commission at no additional cost to you.

Designer Advice

Designing a nursery with interest is all about layering great textures and finishes.

Infuse your nursery with personality and warmth by adding adorable plush, bedding and blankets all grounded in the same general theme.

Having trouble choosing a color palette for your nursery? Choose some art for the wall instead and base the palette of the art.

The key to an organized nursery is storage, storage, storage!

I like to choose basic colors for the key pieces of furniture in my nursery. From there, if you want to infuse color, do it with the accessories. You can add pops of color in blankets, pillows, plush, wall decor, etc.

Looking for a great gift? That chenille sheep blanket is a winner every time. Not just because I work here either!

Make sure to have a super cozy blanket on hand to pamper yourself when you're up late for those middle of the night feedings.

I've never met a pompom I don't love!

Nine months seems like forever, but you'll be surprised how fast it really goes. By the time you get to the last trimester, you may feel like time is dragging and that you have plenty of time to decorate your nursery. But let's face it, by the end of your pregnancy, you may be too tired to start thinking about whether you want a safari nursery or any other theme. The second trimester is a good time to begin planning. Even if you don't have everything done, at least your little one will have a happy place to rest their head. Plus, you can give well-wishers the opportunity to get your baby safari-themed nursery décor that matches your vision.

Animals take center stage when you’re designing a safari-themed nursery. Set baby up to take a sunny adventure through the jungle with some lovable furry friends every day.

When looking for safari nursery décor, you can get really cute and playful here with silly accents (like a swinging monkey clock) and bright colors (oranges, greens, and yellows). But blacks, whites, and grays also add nice touches to a neutral room, too. 

Don’t be shy about taking the jungle look as far as you want to. Simply add a few accents, like a rug or wall art, or go all the way with lively wall decals, window treatments, and attention-grabbing stuffed animals . Here’s what will take your safari nursery over the top.

Why trust us?

He’s cute and he’s here to hang! This monkey clock is the perfect addition to dress up a wall of the nursery. Shaped like a monkey swinging on a tree branch, he looks as if he’s ready for some serious playtime. The clock is lightweight and easy to hang up, plus requires just one battery to operate.  

• Weight: 1.76 pounds
• Dimensions: 16 x 11.5 x 1.76 inches

Let's Make Baby Crib Mobile

The minimalist wind chime-style mobile will add a lot of charm to baby’s room. Secure the wooden top to a mobile hanger or ceiling and watch the handmade stars, pom poms, and cutest knitted elephant you ever did see dance around above the crib. Neutral gray and white go with any color scheme. Parents love the little bells in the mobile that give off a gentle, pleasing jingle sound that little ones love.

• Weight: 6.7 ounces
• Dimensions: 6.18 x 6.18 x 1.93 inches

The changing pad cover says it all — your baby is your heart. The gray cover features a white elephant blowing little floating hearts all the way up to the top. A 100 percent polyester material is surprisingly soft, and you can toss it in the wash for easy cleanup. Parents love how the plush fabric seems to soothe baby during diaper changes.

• Dimensions: 16 x 32 inches

Handcrafted in India, this 100 percent wool rug will feel good under little one’s toes — and it’ll look great, too. All playfully jumping around, the lion, leopard, tiger, and cheetah add a colorful, dynamic pop to any nursery. Plus, you’ve got the cool circular rug — 5-feet in diameter — that’s big enough to make a focal point in the room.  

• Dimensions: 5-foot diameter

Melissa & Doug Lifelike 3-Foot Plush Standing Baby Giraffe Stuffed Animal

Talk about a showstopper. The giant giraffe has been a classic gift for babies (yes, really) for years. And for good reason: He’s cute, he’s cuddly, and he’s pretty big. Three feet tall to be exact. But with those big eyes, long eyelashes, and little tufts on his head, baby will be happy he’s in her corner.

• Weight: 3.6 pounds
• Dimensions: 33.05 x 22.45 x 11.8 inches
• Age/weight limit: Recommended for ages 4 and up. Make sure to supervise babies during play. 

Sammy & Lou Crib Bedding Set – Jungle Pals

This bedding set comes with four pieces: a quit, crib skirt, fitted crib sheet, and stuffed toy elephant. Both the crib skirt and quilt are designed with cute and colorful baby jungle animals, including a giraffe, lion, elephant, and alligator. The gender-neutral pastels give a safari themed nursery a softer look. Parents love how nice the quilt feels, noting that it’s something baby will love for a long time. 

• Dimensions: 28 x 52 inches (crib sheet), 35 x 45 inches (quilt), crib skirt has 14-inch drop
• Age/weight limit: Infants should not sleep with quilts or toys   

Oopsy Daisy Eric Carle's Elephant Mother Canvas Wall Art

An Eric Carle illustration of a mama and baby elephant is sure to tug at your heart strings. The greens, blues, and grays in this picture add a touch of color to any room. It’s also produced with your little one in mind — the ink used is GREENGUARD Gold certified, too. Available in two sizes that are perfectly fitting above a crib, changing station, or bookshelf. 

• Weight: 1 or 1.75 lbs
• Dimensions: 18 x 14 x 1.5 inches or 24 x 18 x 1.5 inches

Just peel and stick and you’re good to go. These safari-themed decals are bright and colorful and feature a flock of fun animals, from monkeys to lions, birds, monkeys, and zebras. Easily place them around the top or middle of any room as a border, or make a silly scene on a wall. The package comes with 47 decals that can be removed and stuck again, no problem. 

• Decals arrange in size from 1.3 x 1.4 to 9.3 x 12.5 inches

Lambs & Ivy Me & Mama White/Gray Elephant Nursery Lamp

Mommy and me. A gray mom and baby elephant lovingly look at each other at the base of this small lamp. Complementing the base is a shade that’s white with a black zig-zag design. Parents point out that though this is small, it emits just the right amount of light you want for middle-of-the-night wake-ups. Bonus: It comes with an energy-efficient light bulb, too.

• Weight: 2.15 pounds
• Dimensions: 7 x 7 x 13.75 inches

These little animals are ready to steal your heart with this set of four ready-to-hang prints. The adorable faces and fun colors bring a happy vibe into the room. Ready to hang, these are also lightweight, so they’re easy to get up onto a wall. 

• Weight: 1.2 pounds
• Dimensions: 14.06 x 2.0 x 11.13 inches (overall); 11 x 11 inches each

This window valance completes the safari theme in the nursery. Friendly monkeys, snakes, lions, hippos, and giraffes are all happily hanging out on the white fabric. The valance is super easy to push through a window rod for effortless install. It’s machine washable, so you can also keep it looking like new for a long time.  

• Dimensions: 54 x 15 inches (requires a 0.75-inch rod pocket diameter)

Bring the outside in with this set of three large, leaf-printed storage baskets. Stash baby blankets, toys, books, or diaper supplies in these sturdy linen bins. Each bin is also outfitted with two natural rope handles for easy pick-up. Parents say that they hold up so well, you can use them through multiple kids. 

• Weight: 1.8 pounds
• Dimensions: 16.3 x 12.2 x 4 inches

Gang’s all here! A zebra, bunny, giraffe, and lion cartoon wall decals keep careful watch over baby. The decal comes as one large vinyl for you to position, peel, and stick. (Some parents cut these apart for alternate options for positioning and to make application easier.) Overall, happy parents say these are worth the little extra effort required to install.  

• Dimensions: 17 x 44 inches (each decal is 8 inches to 15 inches in length)

Time for lots of snuggles on this tummy time play mat. Shaped like a giraffe, it’s the perfect size for baby to lay down on and reach for the animal’s ears or horns. You can move this around the room or into the next room. It’s soft, cuddly, and incredibly cute. Easy to wipe clean, too, which is essential.

• Weight: 1.6 pounds
• Dimensions: 3.5 x 24 x 35 inches

Design Reveal: Boy’s Safari Nursery

This week, Little Crown Interiors is taking a break from our Nursery Culture Series to share the story of one of our new nursery design projects (a baby boy’s room that is safari theme nursery in shades of khaki, brown and green).  We hope you enjoy the story below, shared by Naomi of Little Crown Interiors:

Prelude to the Design

I raised my hand to knock on the door of “Client E’s” second story apartment, and was greeted by a sweet brunette with a hand on her belly.  There’s nothing better as a nursery interior designer than seeing how each new client reacts to their first pregnancy.  After the introductions, she explained to us her hopes of creating a Safari or Jungle theme nursery in her small apartment loft space.  E wanted her baby boy’s room to be sophisticated yet whimsical and detailed her favorite colors as taupe, khaki and olive green.

We created this rendering to show E our vision for her baby boy's room.

Here's a photo of the room before we started the nursery design.

Putting the Pieces Together

E had one idea in mind for her nursery furniture: dark.  Naturally, we presenterd her with our favorite espresso changing table and  slate iron crib from Bratt Decor.

Next, we delved into fabrics, gathering earthy silks and sateens for her luxurious custom crib bedding design.

Even in her small space, our floor plan allowed for a cozy glider, topped with throw pillows and their family heirloom plush monkey named “CoCo”.

The Big Picture

This little nursery space needed something big – something spectacular.  The zebra hide area rug and leopard print toy box were not enough to make this baby’s nursery truly amazing.  With the addition of large 3D Safari animals, this nursery went from San Diego Zoo to African Safari!  E’s new baby boy could fall asleep in his new nursery knowing that mama giraffe, baby giraffe, and a friendly zebra were watching over him.

Nursery Fulfillment

Normally, we photograph our nursery designs right away, but in this case, it was several months before we were able to return to E’s home to photograph the finished project.  It was our luck that we got to meet her baby boy, and see him in action. He even posed for a few photos for us (photos courtesy of Full Spectrum Photo Studio )…  As E. held her son in her arms and said goodbye, I was automatically reminded of why I love being a nursery interior designer so much:  Of course, I love the Bratt Decor furniture, designing the custom crib bedding, but more than anything else – it’s the Moms, the Dads, and the children who will spend countless hours making memories in this space.

This nursery looks great. I wonder though if the giraffe behind the crib would be a safety hazard. In the picture, it looks like if he wanted to he could pull it down. I love the 3 D effects of the trees. This will be super fun for the baby when he starts to explore his environment!

10 cuter-than-cute animals from Primorsky Safari Park

What’s that you’ve brought me? A raccoon at Primorsky Safari Park in the village of Shkotovo.

For many years now, the most popular place for a family holiday in the Primorsky Territory has been the safari park near the village of Shkotovo (4,000 miles east of Moscow, 55 miles from Vladivostok). The famous nature reserve celebrated its tenth anniversary on Feb. 7.

Primorsky Safari Park is an enclosure inside the Ussuri taiga forest. Visitors can observe the wild inhabitants without fences or screens in conditions as natural as can be. Injured animals are nursed back to health by staff. The park has a high turnover rate: once fully recuperated, animals are released back into the wild, and their place is taken by others.

The park became famous for two local “residents”: Amur the tiger and Timur the goat. The story of their unusual friendship began in November 2015, when the cloven-hoofed one had a “dinner date” with the predator. However, Timur didn’t take kindly to being on the menu and managed to keep Amur at hoof’s length, after which they began spending time together. In late January 2016 the friends had a slight altercation, resulting in Timur being mauled for his shameless behavior. After rehabilitation, Timur was resettled. In March 2016 he received a mail-order bride all the way from Moscow — a nanny goat by the name of Merkel (no relation of the German chancellor, we presume). On January 25 Timur became the happy father of a kid, quite literally.

The young tigress Ussuri, born June 3, 2014, at the Moscow Zoo nursery, was brought to Primorsky Safari Park on October 17, 2015, as a partner for Amur. On September 18, 2016, she gave birth to a cub called Shere Khan.

The park is home to 15 species of birds of prey: hawks, owls, black kites, tawny owls, eagle owls, to name a few. A guided tour with a professional ornithologist gets you closer to the action. Some birds will even perch on your arm.

The safari park also houses foxes, badgers, minks, wolves and Amur leopards. The different species get along well.

The ungulates have an enclosed forest area of around five hectares all to themselves. Three parks in total: one winter, two summer. The animals move from park to park to give the plants time to grow. Five species of wild ungulates from the Primorsky Territory are free to roam this area, along with waterfowl and tame rabbits.

The park for ungulates now contains Manchurian wapiti, sika deer, roe deer and wild boars. The tame animals are quite happy to approach people. It’s even possible to hand-feed and stroke them, and have your picture taken together.

Dholes, or red wolves, are the rarest of animals. Once native to the Primorsky Territory, now they have all but disappeared. The last sighting of this rare species in the Primorsky Territory was back in 1973. In his Mowgli stories, Kipling described the dholes as an all-destroying, fearsome avalanche attacking the jungle. Dholes do indeed live in packs, but not as large as the fictional ones. Primorsky Safari Park currently counts three dholes in residence.

Along the perimeter of the leopard enclosure runs a six-meter high bridge offering views of leopards in their natural habitat — with no wire fencing in front of the eyes. It is currently home to one leopard, who will soon be joined by a female of the species.

Safari Pearl celebrates 31 years in community

Moscow and Pullman regulars are the reason local game store is still open, owner says

“What used to be niche no longer is, what used to be entirely nerdy is now not quite so nerdy. I wouldn’t quite go so far as to say it’s hip and cool, but it’s pretty darn close,” Simmons said Saturday at Safari Pearl.

On Saturday in Moscow, Safari Pearl Comics celebrated 31 years of operation with a sidewalk sale. Displays of comics, board games, costumes and more sat on tables outside of the shop with two employees outside.

All the items outside were marked 31 percent off in honor of Safari Pearl’s anniversary.

Store founder Kathy Sprague left managing a restaurant in Seattle to open a comic shop in Moscow, where she grew up, she said.

“My first location was about the size of our bathroom here,” she said. “It was a mud porch in the front of a used book store. I started in this one tiny room with two long boxes of comics.”

Sprague first developed an interest in comic books in 1984 when she would go to a local comic book shop with a friend, she said.

“My best friend was flirting with the guy who owned the comic book store at the time. For her cover to go in and flirt with him, I would go in and buy comics,” she said. “They dated for a while, they broke up, and I own a comic store.”

Sprague and Tabitha Simmons co-manage Safari Pearl Comics.

“I’ve worked here off and on for 22 of our 31 years,” Simmons said. “I’m Kathy’s partner. We’ve been married for 25 years. She needed some help in the store, so I just stepped in and started helping.”

Simmons attributed the longevity of Safari Pearl Comics to its adaptability to meet the customers’ requests over time, she said.

She added that the comic industry is growing in popularity due to the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films, which has also opened people’s minds to try stereotypically nerdy things.

The UI football team came to Safari Pearl to buy miniatures for their new Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition campaign, she said.

“What used to be niche no longer is,” Simmons said. “What used to be entirely nerdy is now not quite so nerdy. I wouldn’t quite go so far as to say it’s hip and cool, but it’s pretty darn close.”

Simmons added that those who do not know as much about comics have no reason to feel nervous about entering Safari Pearl.

Another reason for Safari Pearl Comic’s longtime success is that it stands out in the industry, Sprague said.

“Our store is kind of unique,” she said. “It’s one of the older stores in the country at this point because we are 31 years old. I believe we are the only lesbian-owned comic book store in the country. We’re certainly the only 31-year-old lesbian-owned comic book store.”

Many of their regular customers have helped keep their business afloat thanks to the close relationships both Sprague and Simmons have formed throughout the years, Sprague said.

“I have a customer, I’ve watched his daughter grow from a toddler,” Sprague said. “She just finished her Ph.D. in economics.”

Sprague and Simmons also host an all-day Thanksgiving dinner at Safari Pearl in which people can come in and play board games, Sprague said.

Safari Pearl Comics is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Monday through Saturday and 12-5 p.m. on Sundays. It is located at 660 W. Pullman Rd. in Moscow.
