Everyone's Talking About The Giraffe in the Room
The giraffe is such an intriguing animal isn't it? It's larger than life. It's stretched in impossible shapes. And yet, it's cute rather than threatening. If you're thinking about working with an animal print in your home, giraffe can be a great one to choose.
Giraffe images are especially ideal in children's rooms. They are fun and whimsical and a bit silly. A decal on the wall or a large giraffe stuffed animal on the bed brings a mysterious funny sort of fun to the room.
Giraffes work well in adult rooms, too, though. The print itself can be used on furnishings, rugs, curtains, pillows and wallpaper to add to the color tones of the room. Statuettes and sculptures and artwork can add an exotic appeal to the room.
Think of the oddness of the giraffe when using it as inspiration for decorating your home. Dare to be different!

A large-scale giraffe decal is a great addition to a child's room. It's playful, colorful and fun. And since it's a decal, it's temporary. It will last as long as you want it to decorate the space and then easily peel off when you're ready to transform the room.
Here's another way that a giraffe on the wall can work in a kid's room. I like how its light color is patterned against a boldly painted wall.
Take that giraffe off of the wall and install it in the nursery in 3d form. How fun to have huge stuffed animals decorating your child's room and looking after him in his sleep.
Decals or wall paintings of giraffes don't need to be limited to kids' rooms. Paired with chic modern furniture and set against a solid white wall, they can give an exotic feel to an adult's room.
You might not even notice the giraffes at first glance in this room but look more closely at those lamps on the wall. That's right, they're giraffes! Although used in a kids' room here, they could work well in any space in the house.
How bold do you have to be to put a large giraffe statue in your living room? It works here because the room is large enough as well as tall enough. It also works because of the fact that the other furnishings here are also inspired by world travels and trends.
Knick knacks are a simple way to introduce a new design idea into your home. This simple little giraffe is easy to incorporate into your existing design as you start to play around with the animal theme.
Hold giraffe statuettes stand out a bit more than white knick knacks do. Admittedly, what I really love here is the way that white, gold and yellow are scattered in a neat design on this wall bookcase.
The giraffe design works great for a rug. It's warm and cozy and the colors can work with many other colors in a room.
What catches your eye more here - the strange house or the huge giraffe looking over it? A sculptural giraffe in the yard definitely makes a huge statement!
