A jungle-themed bedroom can spark your child’s imagination while creating a space they’ll love spending time in. The biophilic design aspects of nature-themed bedrooms can have calming effects on all of us, especially kids. Plus, there’s no shortage of fun ideas for making your child’s jungle room a truly magical place to be.

Whether your little one dreams of swinging with monkeys and sloths or spotting jaguars in the rainforest, you can make their bedroom a place that’s filled with dreams and adventures. In this post, we’ll share some jungle-inspired decor ideas, as well as the best kids’ beds for this theme, plus other tips to help you make your child’s jungle bedroom both fun and functional.

Children's Jungle Themed Beds

The bed is the heart of any bedroom, and a jungle-themed bed can transform your child's space into an enchanting rainforest retreat. The right bed not only creates an exciting focal point but also helps immerse your little explorer in their wild adventure every night. Here are some bed designs that are great for kids and that will work well with this theme:

1. Log Cabin Bunk Bed

Bunk beds in general work especially well in kids’ jungle-themed bedrooms because they offer the feeling of being high up in the tree canopy. CozyBeds’ log cabin bunk bed is especially fun because it looks like it could have been made in the rainforest.

The bottom bunk is floor level, which is a great option for little kids. Plus, it features a fun faux window for looking out at the goings on in the forest.

The top bunk is easily accessed with an attached ladder, offering a “tree top” view with a partial roof to keep things cozy.

Turn their room into a jungle oasis with tropical plants and animal murals. Add natural textures like woven baskets, greenery, and earthy tones. This creates a peaceful, nature-inspired space.

CozyBeds’ tent-inspired bunk beds can fit right into this “out in the bush or outback” theme. Young kids can be on the bottom bunk and older kids up top.

2. L-Shaped Double Loft Bed with Desks

You can turn your child's bedroom into a jungle expedition basecamp with this innovative l-shaped double loft bed design. The elevated sleeping areas create the perfect lookout point for adventurous explorers – safely positioned high above any prowling crocodiles that might lurk below!

The two built-in desks can be ideal expedition planning stations, where young adventurers can document their daily jungle discoveries, sketch the exotic wildlife they've spotted, or map out tomorrow's exploration routes.

3. Low House Bunk Bed with Slide

Every young jungle explorer needs a speedy way to rush out for early morning wildlife spotting, and this house-shaped bunk bed delivers with its built-in slide! Whether your little adventurer hears exotic birds calling or spots a family of monkeys swinging by, they'll be ready to leap into action.

The cozy house-shaped frame creates the perfect jungle hideout, complete with a top bunk that feels like a secret treehouse observation post perched high in the rainforest canopy.

4. Teepee Bed

Your child will feel like they're sleeping in their very own safari expedition tent with this charming teepee-style floor bed. You can adorn the wooden frame with twinkling fairy lights that mimic the stars peeking through the jungle canopy.

Just like real wildlife photographers and jungle explorers, your child can drift off to sleep in their own quiet corner of the wilderness, dreaming of tomorrow's discoveries while safely nestled in their personal shelter.

5. Expedition Jeep Bed with Tent

The perfect rig for jungle adventures, this Jeep bed is complete with its own canvas-style tent top. Young explorers will feel like they're camping deep in the wilderness where they can explore the hidden parts of the jungle.

 

Jungle-Inspired Bedding, Pillows, Rugs, and Curtains

Jungle-themed textiles are one of the easiest ways to create a magical jungle room for your child. Here are some exciting ways to enhance the room:

6. Rainforest Bedding

You can find a wide variety of jungle-themed bedding styles to make your child’s bed feel like a cozy natural retreat. Look for bedding featuring lush tropical leaves, colorful parrots, sloths, monkeys, or prowling jaguar.

7. Wild Animal Throw Pillows and Plush Toys

Toucan, monkey, sloth, tiger, and other rainforest animal plush toys will spark your child’s imagination while teaching them about jungle wildlife. And you can add decorative throw pillows featuring embroidered jungle scenes, tribal patterns, or exotic butterflies for extra comfort.

8. Tropical Area Rugs

You can create an instant jungle floor with themed area rugs. Look for designs featuring winding jungle paths, detailed leaf patterns, or playful animal tracks. Snake-inspired patterns or tiger stripes can add excitement, while leafy botanical prints create a calming rainforest atmosphere.

9. Safari-Style Window Treatments

You can frame the view with window curtains that complete the jungle theme. Bamboo-style patterns or tropical leaf prints work beautifully, especially when paired with solid green or brown blackout panels. For added whimsy, try curtains featuring climbing monkeys or towering elephants that seem to peek into the room.

Playful Jungle Wall Decor Ideas

You can bring the wilderness indoors with enchanting wall treatments. Here are some ideas:

10. Jungle Wall Mural

You can create an immersive forest feel with a floor-to-ceiling mural featuring towering rainforest trees, complete with hanging vines and broad leaves. Add dimensional fabric leaves near the ceiling and string fairy lights among them to create a magical canopy effect that glows softly at night. You can find temporary wallpaper and murals as well as tapestries that fit the jungle theme.

11. Rainforest Window Scene

You can paint the wall around windows to frame them like treehouse lookout posts, complete with painted branches, curious monkeys, and colorful tropical birds. Add lightweight bamboo or rattan elements around the window frame to enhance the effect.

12. Wildlife Gallery Wall

Develop an educational display featuring framed vintage botanical prints, colorful photographs of exotic animals, or interesting artifacts. You can install bamboo shelving to display small potted plants and create little discovery zones where plush jungle animals can peek out from behind real plants.

13. Jungle Maps

Framed maps can teach your child about where actual jungles exist around the world. You can also find wall-size giant maps and tape photos of native animals in their jungle habitats.

Secret Jungle Storage Solutions

Clever storage solutions can enhance the wild atmosphere while keeping your young explorer's treasures organized. Here are some creative ideas:

14. Safari Trunk Storage

Turn a basic wooden chest into an explorer's expedition trunk with weathered-look paint and vintage-style "adventure gear" labels. Add compass rose designs or jungle animal silhouettes to create the perfect spot for storing special discoveries and adventure supplies.

15. Treehouse Storage Cubbies

Mount wooden crates on the wall in a treehouse-style arrangement, painting them in natural greens and browns. Add artificial vines or leaf garlands between the cubbies, creating secret hideaways for toys and books. Each cubby can represent a different animal's home, with fun labels like "Toucan's Nest" or "Tiger's Den."

16. Jungle Ranger Wardrobe

Give a plain closet or wardrobe an adventurous makeover with painted bamboo poles, tropical leaf stencils, and safari-themed handles. Install a roll-out "field equipment" drawer for smaller items, and add hooks shaped like animal heads to hang backpacks and adventure gear.

Jungle-Inspired Lighting

17. Twinkling Canopy Lights

You can string LED fairy lights around the bed frame or across the ceiling in a criss-cross pattern, weaving them through artificial vines and leaves to create a magical jungle canopy effect. The soft, warm glow mimics starlight filtering through the treetops, making bedtime feel like camping in a peaceful rainforest.

18. Safari Lantern Sconces

Mount vintage-style lantern sconces on the walls to create the feel of an explorer's camp. Choose fixtures with a weathered brass or copper finish and amber-tinted glass to cast a warm, adventurous glow. These wall lights can serve as both functional lighting and themed decor elements that enhance the room's expedition atmosphere.

19. Glowing Jungle Friends

You can place animal-shaped night lights strategically around the room to create gentle guidance lighting. Options like a soft-glowing elephant lamp, a monkey holding a light-up banana, or a friendly tiger with illuminated eyes add both practical lighting and whimsical charm to the space. These themed lights serve as comforting companions during nighttime jungle adventures.

Jungle-Inspired Decorations and Accessories

20. Explorer's Research Station

You can set up a nature-inspired desk area with a collection of magnifying glasses, a world map marked with rainforest regions, and a special journal for documenting wildlife "sightings." Add realistic animal footprint stamps, colored pencils for sketching discoveries, and a digital microscope for examining collected leaves and feathers. Place a vintage-style compass and binoculars nearby to complete the young researcher's equipment.

21. Botanical Discovery Corner

Create a cozy reading nook with oversized artificial monstera leaves and palm fronds arching overhead. Add plush animal-print floor cushions and a collection of wildlife books displayed on bamboo shelving. Include a small indoor water fountain with gentle tropical sounds to enhance the immersive jungle experience.

An Enchanting Jungle Haven

Creating a jungle-themed bedroom for your child can open up a world of wild possibilities and endless adventures. Each carefully chosen element, from the perfect jungle-inspired bed to the twinkling fairy lights and jungle plush toys, can work together to craft an immersive space where imagination runs free. This magical environment not only makes bedtime more exciting but also creates a personal sanctuary where your child can dream of far-off expeditions and wonderful wildlife discoveries.
