JUNGLE BEAT
Cast aside neutral shades and mid-grey tones, it’s time to welcome paradise into your home with the evergreen tropical trend
1 BIRDS OF PARADISE WALLPAPER
Anyone with an inkling for maximalism will love the tropical trend with its bright hues and bold motifs. This made-tomeasure floral wallpaper by Marina Stupakova vibrates with humming birds in search of nectar from colourful blooms and comes on a variety of wallpapers, including peel-and-stick.
From £35 per sqm, wallsauce.com
2 RAVENALA ORANGE LAMPSHADE
If you’re tempted by the tropical trend but wary of overwhelming your space with exotic print then simply nod to the look with some tasteful accessories. Cushions, rugs and lampshades are all good ways to get a more subtle version of the look. This abstract palm tree print is a bold statement in strong orange hues. Printed on linen, it’s finished with gold lining and golden looped fringes.

3 RATTAN ROCKING CHAIR
This trend is a celebration of nature and ornate furniture will look out of place so opt for pieces made from materials like wicker, rattan and bamboo. Simplicity and comfort are also key, so this low rocking chair is ticking all the right boxes. Rattan is strong and flexible and can be taken outside too. Adorn with colourful cushions. £375, idyllhome.co.uk
4 FLOOR PALM PLANT
Luscious botanicals are essential to creating a Shangri-La at home. Good indoor plants to choose include bird of paradise, palms and peace lily. Tropical house plants thrive in warmth, but heating costs are a consideration. A solution is an artificial plant, such as this pretty palm that comes fully potted in a mosscovered weighted pot. £63.99, wayfair.co.uk
