Where can I find wildlife home interior decorating ideas?

Posted by Jade Martins on Nov-28-2009

We are trying to decorate our den with a wildlife theme (deer, turkey, fish). I have checked the HGTV website along with other websites and haven’t had any luck. Any ideas?

Cabela’s has all kinds of wildlife items for the home.

I am building a very basic two story home, downstairs having a family room den( computer room) kitchen with nook, walk in pantry, half bath and laundry. Upstairs i have split into two suites, each side have a large bedroom, ensuite and 9×10 walk in closet. End of the hall is a walk in linen closet 8×8. Very simple and basic. I like the greens yellows and browns, but have no idea what to do. I have gone to four " interior decorators" but all of them come up with something different. Just looking for some clues or ideas i suppose.. thanks

Regardless of the size of your rooms and the colors of your walls…when you keep your furniture simple in color and basic it always works better. Also due to the advent of stain resistant microfiber, you can get light colored furniture with no worries about stains. I would suggest a light color in browns, since if you ever get tired of your color scheme you won’t be forced to shop for a new sofa. What you can do is maybe get a beige sofa, any style you like and then buy olive and maroon cushions as an accent piece.

Everything doesn’t have to be perfectly color coordinated, that would make it boring. See if a jewel tone maroon accent cushion or a throw will appeal to you that may contrast with your beige sofa and a jewel tone olive cushion. The jewel or bright color of cushions brighten up a sober sofa nicely, without overwhelming the room with a lot of color in the sofa itself.

A dish on your neutral colored center table with potpourri that is also olive colored and maroon…table lamps that are white or cream colored with a maroon/olive pattern or a lamp shade that is white with maroon or olive embroidered.

The key again is to accent subtly so that it just looks open due to less color in furniture but the overall effect is just very harmonious. Compliment with an area rug in the center and continue the theme with cream or white curtains around the room with similar colors in embroidery or scarves that reflect the olive walls in small details.
