Using Jungle Rugs

When you decorate with jungle rugs, you can create a staycation-style safari in any room of the home. With a range of animal prints, colors, and styles available, the options are endless. Whether you’d like an authentic jungle feel throughout your home or you're just decorating a child's play area, you won’t regret this theme.

We hope you’ll enjoy our selection as you shop for the perfect jungle area rugs. We have rugs from trusted designers and brands such as Surya, Momeni, Safavieh, and more. With a wide range of versatile designs to pick from, there’s something for every home.

When you decorate with jungle rugs, you’re adding wild patterns and colors to your indoor space. Colors such as ivory, yellow, beige, green, brown, tan, white, black, grey, blue, and teal work well with this look. Most designers recommend picking four to five colors for each room’s palette to create a sense of cohesion and style.

Jungle theme rugs go well with indoor plants and will look more natural when surrounded by leafy foliage. If you don’t have a green thumb, there's no shame in using silk plants instead of living ones.

For those who’d like more inspiration, we’ve highlighted fun ways to use jungle area rugs throughout the home below:

Living Room

A safari rug with animal print such as leopard or zebra can make your living room a delightful area to spend time in. We recommend pairing these rugs with fun furniture and other safari-themed accents. For example, try picking pillows for the couch that match the print on the rug, or go bold and pick a couch and/or set of curtains that match the rug.

Bedroom

If you want your bedroom to feel like a jungle escape, try a tiger rug or a tropical rug under the bed. As we recommended for the living room, add other jungle-themed prints to the space to complete the look. A jungle-themed accent wall is also a nice touch behind the bed.

Nursery

Take your baby on a safari every day with jungle themed rugs for nursery room decor. In the nursery, you’ll want softer colors and more soothing aesthetics. For example, a leaf rug might be a better choice than a zebra rug to preserve the calming atmosphere.
