Leafy green fabric in the bedroom
Use nature as inspiration to bring a luxurious and exotic feel to your bedroom by using a botanical fabric featuring a large leaf design for your curtains. Use a velvet forest green fabric for your headboard to give a rich and luscious look to your room. Dark wooden furniture is ideal for this theme, for example choose acacia wood for your wardrobes and cabinets. Metallic accents will create interest and add warmth to the scheme - look for lamps and mirrors in gold shades. You could dress your bed with a metallic throw and cushions in jungle colours such as brown and gold.
Retro tropical
All things retro are popular now and by using a botanical fabric with hot pink accessories you will create a quirky room that is bang on trend. You could also use a jungle print wallpaper and use for a feature wall, keep the other walls simple in neutral shades or white. Accessorise with kitsch decorations such as pink flamingos and gold pineapples. This scheme isn’t for the faint hearted but is all about creating a room that is over the top and summery with a feeling of being in Miami!
Bright exotic prints in the living room
If you want a colourful room that will add a touch of fun to your home then choose an exotic colourful print for your curtains and accessorise with cushions in a plain green fabric. If you are feeling brave use this colourful fabric to re-upholster a statement chair to create a real wow factor to your room. Dark wooden floors are a good option to use but keep your walls light so that the room is not too dark and dismal. Silver metallic mirror frames and lamps will complete your scheme and reflect the light. For more ideas using floral fabric and botanicals check out our advice article using floral fabric.
Update your neutral scheme
If you want to update your neutral scheme to give it a tropical feel then you can do this by replacing a couple of your current items, for example by selecting cushions in botanical prints and green fabric you will have an instant jungle feel. Add faux ferns and a couple of metallic lamps and you will have immediately revamped your room.
Accessorise with plants
To complete the tropical theme add large plants such as ferns and palms in metallic coloured pots, if you are not green fingered then there are some good faux ferns around that will create a dramatic impact in your room.
