Jungle is one of the main trends in home design in the last couple of years. We will tell you how to transform your home into a fashionable “tropical”.
Paints and wallpaper
Why did the tropical theme in the interior become popular? Because nature, living plants and the naturalness of the surrounding world are what a modern city dweller lacks so much. Green, brown and blue colors prevail in nature, and it is for them that the souls of city dwellers yearn so much. The tropics are not just nature, but nature in its most vivid manifestation. When we see all these ferns, palms and exotic flowers, we immediately have associations with summer, heat, vacation, fresh air and a healthy lifestyle.
Textiles
Textiles are one of the most important details in the design of a tropical interior for many reasons. It is on textiles that you can see an unprecedented number of plant prints and their combinations, with the help of pillows, carpets and curtains you can recreate a semblance of natural natural relief, and it is also so easy to remove or replace textiles with another if you suddenly get bored with the jungle theme.
Plain green fabrics are best suited for curtains, because they immediately catch the eye and will distract all attention. It is better to choose different pillows – from dark and white to the brightest, with pink and yellow shades, and an animal print is perfect for a trunk. It will seem as if a tiger or cheetah is hiding in your living room.
Lamps
The main thing we love about the tropical trend is its naturalness and similarity to eco-style. This means that not only the colors but also the materials should be natural. First of all, it is, of course, wood, because what kind of forest is it without trees? That is why in tropical interiors, furniture should have a wooden texture, even rough, as well as color and a slight sense of unprocessedness. And, of course, wicker furniture is ideal.
All this also applies to lamps, which play the role of sunlight in the forest. Brown shades, simple shapes, light materials – all this will create the impression that in front of you is not a real chandelier, but a liana hanging from the ceiling, intricate tree branches or a basket that you wove with your own hands.
Plants
We’ve been talking about an interior with images of plants all this time, but how can it do without the plants themselves? If you have the opportunity to plant live flowers in a tropical setting, that’s great, because your home will really look like a piece of that very desired nature. Palm trees, tangerine trees, orchids, cacti – complex and easy-to-care-for plants of various sizes will do.
But if you already have a favorite geranium or roses that you won’t find in a tropical forest, do you really need to give them up in favor of authenticity? Not at all! Your favorite plants and flowers can be disguised as exotic if you move them to new pots with images of fern or palm leaves. The main thing is to show a little imagination.
