Use organic patterns, like a zebra's stripes, to decorate in African style.
Decorating your bathroom in an African inspired way can give you a chance to explore a mix of organic and luxury items and materials. Safari-style design includes warm earthy tones with splashes of natural texture and color. There is a wide range of possibilities available when considering this theme; the trick is to find something you like and focus on that element.
Animal Prints
Animal prints can provide incredible inspiration for a bathroom. Consider the zebra. The geometric black and white stripes can be added easily in many ways. Look for black, white or patterned towels and a zebra-striped shower curtain. Find some faux zebra skin and create a covered tissue holder, or use it as a rug or tank cover. Glue small pieces to a solid black frame that surrounds a print of zebras on the savanna. The same ideas can apply to any animal print.
Earthy Colors
Earthy tones in browns, rusts and gold and naturally occurring colors like green and muted purple are the basis of an African-inspired bath. Find a rich tone for the walls and carry it through the rest of the room. Find some inspiring patterned material that includes your wall color and make your own shower curtain or floor covering. Use shades that match the color for towels and accessories. Keep the colors rich and earthy to create the perfect background and emphasize your safari theme.
Accessories
Add African masks to the walls to emphasize the theme.
Going wild with your bathroom accessories is the phrase to remember. Safari themed accessories can include elephant, zebra, giraffe, or lion figurines and candleholders as well as tissue holders. Include natural-material baskets to hold vanity items and metal bowls for soap and toothbrushes. Wall accessories can include African masks or tribal folk art, as well as framed pictures of African animals or scenes. Include greenery in your bath, either live or silk, and place them in African-inspired pottery or bamboo vases. Remember to keep it organic, using basic metals and natural materials for your accessories.
