Safari

Done right, a safari decor theme is rich and elegant. The key is restraint: Choose one or two focal pieces for visual impact, like a mirror from APF Munn in the shape of two tusks, and the zebra-striped Newport armchair from Barclay Butera. Then focus on details — finish the look with everything from sculptural mahogany statuettes to decorative horn boxes. And keep the rest of the room minimal: A subdued palette of solids, in earthy or black-and-white tones, is an ideal backdrop.
