Kids are very active and always eager to explore new things every day. They don't want rooms that are primarily functional, but inspiring and exciting.
If you are looking for something that is not specifically gendered then here is a great idea for an amazing kids room. My nieces are the lucky little monkeys that inhabit this jungle of fun and coziness.
The jungle theme goes through their whole room but I love the reading and cuddling corner especially. It's also the perfect place for a little nap.
If you want to give your kids the same cute cuddling corner, then all you need is a bamboo rod or broomstick, some seat cushions and a small matress. Simply attach the bamboo rod to the wall and tie the seat cushions to it to create a comfy back (see below). Lots of other cushions and blankets will make it extra cozy. The huge leaves are from IKEA.
I also love all the cute jungle details around their room. The swinging monkeys on the wall ...
... or this soft monkey rug fit perfectly into the whole theme.
They also included little details such as animal hooks and knobs or a little crafts project.
Even the adorable little doll got some jungle themed bed linen.
There is also a super easy DIY idea to pimp every lamp up jungle style. My sister-in-law simply sewed a coat from fabric with jungle animals. The result looks amazing.
What's also really great about the whole room is that apart from the monkey wall stickers, all decorations can easily be changed if the girls have enough of the jungle and want to explore another world right in their own home.
Here are some more ideas for your kids' very own jungle themed room:
Why wait for the kids to grow up? Start with a jungle nursery for your baby by hanging up these cute jungle and safari canvas or a flying jumping jack parrot. My nieces loved to look at it during diaper change when they were younger.
I also found some more ideas for older kids on the internet as a further inspiration.
This last one looks so realistic as if Tarzan will jump out of the tree house at any moment.
I hope you are inspired! If you still want a little more, here's a short funny video to watch with your kids.
I am totally doing this so cute! I am making a monkey play room for my nephew and this goes with it so cute! What size mattress did you use?
Hi there, I am happy you like it. Well you can use any size, it depends how big you would like it.
