Question

How could one design a room to look like a cave or part of a forest?

Answer 1

I'm not quite sure about a cave but I have a few ideas about your forest.

Paint trees all over the sides of your room with little flowery plants at the bottom. Make sure the trees don't just stop at the walls but that the tops of the trees cover the ceiling too, like a canopy.  Then on your bedding, you can do maybe a lime green bedspread like these:

Then you could add maybe yellow and orange pillow like forest plant colors. And brown furniture to match the tree bark. Maybe a lime green rug like this: http://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/control/p...

And then you could put big fake boulders everywhere that you can get from michaels, Joanne's or hobby lobby. Then you could also put fake floral plants , also from craft stores.

Hope I helped you. =]

i would take work but wouldn,t be impossable, there are books out there that would help,and you could use artifical stone as well as full wall murals etc ,etc

Answer 3

Cave - Caves are usually dark. Maybe paint it deep colours such as ebony, brown and grey. Stained glass can be like the gemstones of the cave and candles can also add a mysterious theme onto the room. You can also make cardboard bats and dangle them from the celing.

Forest- Forests are also deep dark and dense. Green and brown are the major colours found in a forest. Maybe add ropes as lianas, green cushions, many woodworks representing trees, candles or scented pot pourri for the smell, dim lights and pictures of rainforests.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

You would have to tell the designer how you would like the room.

Answer 5

There are quite a few forest murals:http://www.google.com/products?q=forest+...

You could add pine branches the size of saplings.

For a cave effect you could try to recreate cave paintings on your walls or on a huge canvashttp://images.google.com/images?q=cave+p...  It would look really elegant & not "Flintstones" at all.
