2. Decide on the type of bedding that will meet your requirements

Zebra bedding has become one of the most popular choices in bedding in the United States. There are so many bedding items on the market and you will need to consider what type of zebra bedding will best meet your requirements. Do you want to add zebra sheeting to compliment plain black bedding or would a zebra comforter better suit your needs? Plain white bedding can look just as striking with a zebra throw. A zebra rug and one or two zebra accessories. Zebra curtains can be used to accentuate the zebra theme. It is advisable to visualize what the end result will be before shopping for your particular " piece of Africa".

3. Decide on bedroom decor first and then on wall color.

Irrespective of what style or theme you choose for your zebra bedroom having paint mixed to the perfect match for your walls will pose no problem. The current color of the walls should not dictate the color of your bedding or accessories. It is cheap enough to repaint walls and therefore this should not be a restricting factor when redecorating your bedroom.

4. Take the psychological effect of color into consideration when making your choices.

When adding accessories to your zebra bedding take into consideration the mood that the various different colors will create. Blue and green colors will have a calming and more relaxing effect than red or orange which are warm colors and are extremely striking used with black and white zebra bedding but may not create a mood conducive to sleep.

5. Consider using color undertones if you have chosen one color for your accessories.

If you have chosen one specific color for all your accessories in your zebra room it may be wise to choose items that are the same color but with varying intensity. This will add texture and warmth into your color scheme. If however you choose accessories in more than one color them it is advisable that these colors be of the same intensity. Bright red and pale blue shams will not have the same effect that would be obtained if both colors were bright.

6. Make sure that all the objects in the room match your color scheme

Once you have chosen a color scheme for your room remove all items that either do not match or cannot be repainted or re-upholstered to match this color scheme. You do not want to spoil all your efforts by keeping objects in the room that no longer look like they belong in the room. Remove anything that you consider ugly out of the room and if need be out of the house.

7. Pay attention to detail and repeat patterns where possible

The finer art of good decorating comes to paying attention to detail. Placing zebra rugs in the most appropriate place will accentuate the zebra bedding with the repetitive patterning. The zebra skin patterning can also be introduced into light fixtures, zebra throws or zebra curtains.

Redecorating your bedroom should be fun - but it should also be well planned. The neutrality of zebra bedding gives the decorator free reigns when it comes to choosing bedroom themes or styles - you will really be able to let your imagination run wild and make your bedroom haven a unique sanctuary.
