Mosaic Heights – Modern Safari Nursery Prints with a Colorful Giraffe Design

A bold and modern safari-themed nursery with a deep teal and mustard yellow color scheme. A navy blue crib with mustard and patterned bedding is positioned against a rich teal wall, with a geometric giraffe artwork in shades of blue, orange, and yellow hanging above it. A round, braided rug in navy, mustard, and cream anchors the space, complementing the wooden dresser, floating shelves, and a white armchair with coordinating throw pillows and a blanket. A woven ottoman, hanging wall decor, and a mobile with soft, neutral-colored spheres add warmth and texture. Large windows with sheer white curtains let in plenty of natural light. The bottom section of the image showcases a close-up of the giraffe painting and an alternate view of the room styled as a toddler’s bedroom with a matching navy blue bed and decor. The 'TeepeeJoy.com' logo is visible at the bottom.

Their tongues can be up to 20 inches long, allowing them to reach places most animals (and humans!) never could.
