How to Elevate Your Jungalow With Wallpaper

Jungalow, the style created by Justina Blakeney, is all about bold colors, lively patterns and lots of plants. Whether you’re drawn to this eclectic aesthetic because it matches your personality or because it simply makes your heart happy, there’s no wrong way to embrace it.

The easiest way to bring the jungalow look to your space is with a colorful wallpaper that features jungle-themed animals, botanicals and flowers. Luckily, there are many options available so you can find the perfect fit for your room.

For example, this jungalow wallpaper from Opalhouse designed with Jungalow features woodland animals and flowers on a white backdrop. Its peel-and-stick design makes it easy to install and remove, without damaging your painted walls or leaving sticky residue behind. The eye-catching wallcovering is the perfect finishing touch for a nursery or playroom.

Another option is this jungalow wallpaper from Target, which features different ferns and leaves in vibrant colors on a neutral background. It’s the perfect backdrop to a bedroom, living room or even a stairwell. And it pairs perfectly with bohemian bedding, rattan furniture pieces, woven baskets and tasseled towels.

To give your jungalow wallpaper some extra visual pop, you can hang up art featuring tropical birds and plants. The key is to pick a piece that has negative space or an outline around it, so it stands apart from the wallpaper and doesn’t get overwhelmed by it. That’s why we love the framed pieces hung in Caitlin’s bathroom: The neutral color of the frames and matting gives the art a break from the vibrant pattern on the wallpaper and allows it to stand out without competing with it.

If you’re not ready to commit to a full-scale jungle wallpaper, this removable polka dot peel-and-stick wall mural is the perfect solution. This wallpaper is easy to install and doesn’t require any paste or water — just soak the back of the pre-pasted Sure Strip and stick it up like a sticker. It’s ideal for use in low-moisture areas (like powder rooms) but can also be used in bedrooms and offices.

To further elevate your jungalow, add some bohemian rugs and pillows. These Moroccan-inspired rugs, for instance, pair beautifully with the bold floral patterns in this jungalow wallpaper and will instantly elevate any space. Or, for a more subtle take on the look, you can opt for a vintage Persian rug with a modern color palette and some kilim-style pillows.
