How to Decorate With Parrots

Decorating with a parrot theme is a creative way to bring a little bit of a tropical paradise into your own home. Use parrots to create a rain forest theme or a luau theme in a variety of rooms from your bedroom, a child's room or even a living room. Find the supplies at any home supply store, home decor shop, local craft store or furniture store.

Instructions

      Paint the walls of the room you are decorating in a light tropical color such as sky blue, pale green or light yellow. If you are especially artistic, paint a mural of tropical palm trees with parrots in them. Hire a professional artist to paint a mural on the wall, or purchase a wall border with parrots on it from your local wallpaper shop.

      Hang curtains on the windows that have a tropical print of parrots or palm trees. If you can't find any curtains, specifically with parrots on them, use curtains that are in tropical colors to match your paint such as pale green or sky blue. Hang wicker bird cages from the curtain rods filled with greenery and parrot figurines.

      Purchase furniture that adds a tropical feel to the room such as lightweight wicker furniture. Add throw pillows to couches, beds and chairs that are covered in material with a parrot design, or purchase material at your local craft store or sewing shop that has parrot designs to make your own throw pillow covers or blankets. Add tropical plants to your end tables or bedside tables such as orange trees or pineapple plants, and place parrot figurines next to the plants.

      Look for prints for your walls that contain parrots and other tropical scenes. Find these at local arts shops or look online. Some pet shops and gift shops inside your local zoos may also have prints that contain parrots.

      Purchase a live parrot if you are feeling particularly adventurous. Find parrots, cages, food and all the accessories at a variety of pet shops. Set the bird up in the room with the parrot theme to add a bit of reality to the scene.
