Enhance a teen's bed with a graphic zebra-patterned comforter.
Decorating with a zebra theme will give a teen's room a bold, exotic look. Keep the style playful by incorporating vibrant hues into the black and white color scheme. As a personal touch, choose a hue that reflects the teen's personality. Use zebra-themed accessories and textiles to create a coordinated look.
Zebra-Print Bedding
A bed is often the focal point of a bedroom, so make a daring statement using a zebra-patterned comforter or bedspread. If you're decorating on a budget, simply updating the teen's bedding will make a big style impact. For a classic look, choose a comforter featuring a black and white zebra print with wide stripes. For a whimsical style, choose bedding displaying black and bright pink or turquoise stripes. If the teen prefers a plain-colored comforter, update the look with a throw blanket and decorative pillows. Enhance an all red or black comforter with red and black zebra-striped pillows, and fold a matching blanket at the foot of the bed. Pick plain-colored sheets for a bed featuring a zebra-patterned comforter and zebra-printed sheets for a bed featuring a plain comforter to avoid a busy look.
Wild Textiles
Add a wild touch to an otherwise boring bedroom using zebra-print textiles. The textiles will complement a bedroom featuring everything from plain white to bright pink walls. A large black and white zebra-striped rug will become the center of attention in a room featuring wood or tile floors. Hang gauzy zebra-printed curtains to add a touch of glamour to the space. Create a reading nook with a comfortable black and white zebra-patterned chaise lounge or butterfly chair and a tall black wrought iron lamp.
Animal Accessories
Animal print accessories will put the finishing touches on a zebra-themed teen bedroom. Accent a plain black or white comforter by placing a lamp featuring a zebra-patterned shade on a nightstand. Display a piece of the teen's artwork, such as a painting or photograph, in a zebra-striped frame for an eclectic look. A zebra-striped wallpaper border will liven up neutral-hued walls; hang the border directly under the ceiling or around the middle of the walls. Other themed bedroom accessories include mirrors with zebra-striped frames, bean bag chairs, wall sconces, vases and trinket and jewelry boxes.
