Tropical prints for exotic decorations

When we talk about decorating with tropical prints we enter a wide spectrum of styles. Although these motifs come mainly from the colonial style, we can also find them integrated in boho chic style environments or even in the retro style, in which plant motifs come together to create colorful patterns of varied designs.

When it comes to applying tropical decoration based on prints, we can choose from a wide range of supports, from murals or wallpapers to fabrics for sofas or cushions, and we can combine them to enhance a style as fresh as it is cheerful. Let's see some examples!

Wall murals and wallpapers with tropical motifs

The world of wallpaper never ceases to amaze us. From being considered a fad, it is here to stay, thanks to the evolution year after year in the design of original bets, from motifs of all kinds to photographic murals. They have undoubtedly revolutionized the market with new waterproof, stain and dirt-proof qualities and have even gone beyond creating 3D designs to decorate our walls.

Tropical motifs have been a twist on the most retro designs, creating real landscapes in our own home. They generally avoid excessively floral motifs, focusing their attention on palm leaves, bamboo and other tropical plants and fruits native to the most exotic places on the planet, giving priority to green tones and some turquoises and blues. Density is a matter of taste: there are papers with more or less dense patterns that you can use to your advantage to create brighter environments or with more character.

Tropical textiles

If we do not want to wallpaper our house or want a more summery design that can vary with each season, a more flexible alternative to achieve a tropical decoration based on prints are textiles. In this case the maxim is to tend to brightness.

The white color tinges the background of sheets, comforters, cushions and upholstery splashed again by the leaves of the most exotic plants visually lightening the space and giving it a lot of freshness and peace. Use it in small doses if you only want a tropical touch or apply it on curtains, sofas, armchairs or carpets if you want a space with more character.

Tropical accessories

When it comes to achieving a tropical style, not everything is based on the wrapping: every little detail counts when it comes to decoration. There are other complements with which to achieve this effect, such as the presence of hanging plants like kokedamas, decorative sheets with floral prints or contemporary porcelain pieces with fruit motifs.

Tropical materials

The materials associated with this style also play an important role. Among the most common, rattan applied to furniture, natural fibers in carpets, or wicker and bamboo for lamps, planters and other decorative accessories, which will give the perfect touch to our tropical environment.
