URBAN JUNGLE NURSERY THEME

There are several things, in my opinion, that take the our baby's Urban Jungle Nursery Theme far beyond the average safari nursery bedding decorated with wild animals and set it apart from your average, attractive cream and taupe nursery. Perhaps the most important decorative element that comes into play is that Mike, our baby’s proud and talented dad, designed the original art prints that set the tone for the decor.

Mike's artistic concept for the posters was to take the animals normally found in the wild out of the jungle, bypass the city zoo and incorporate them into every life in the big city.

From left to right you see a giraffe waiting patiently to board the NYC subway, a pair of toucans playing in a park overlooking downtown Dallas and last there is an edgy modern print featuring a monkey in downtown Chicago painting in the modern style of Picasso. The nursery rug directly below the arrangement was purposely chosen to reflect the vibrant colors displayed in the artwork.

In addition to these original prints we arranged framed numeric art to the wall behind the baby’s bed that is veiled somewhat by the baby’s semi-transparent crib canopy. To add another aspect to our Urban Jungle Nursery Theme we included a "Where the Wild Things Are" print over the storage cabinet flanked by large silk leaves reminiscent of the wild animals’ home before they moved to town.

I’m very happy to share pictures of our baby’s urban jungle nursery theme. I am a huge fan of Mike’s artwork and if you would like something special for your baby’s first room, he is available for commissioned pieces. There are more pictures of our baby nursery ideas and of his work in our photo gallery.
