You can have a tropical forest without a plane ticket. I'll show you how you can have a green home and a holiday feeling with just a few tricks.
The influence of my longing for holidays on my current mood board is hard to miss. There are pictures of palm trees and exotic fruits everywhere on my Insta and Pinterest. The products in our range also create a holiday mood with monstera prints or aquatic animals. Here I show you my favourites along with tips on how you can create a green oasis with just a few accessories.
Greenery
Plant prints are a clever way to get out of trouble: They create a kind of fake jungle - without you having to water. They look just as fresh as real plants and can also be used on the dining table for a change. Simply mix up your current (often white) table setting with individual printed trays or plates.
If you're brave, you can also work with your wall instead of accessories: Choose a picture or wallpaper an entire wall with a palm tree pattern. This will make all the existing furniture in front of it shine in a new light.
Jungle feeling
Of course, you can also go botanical with real plants. But because I don't have green fingers, I prefer things with leaf prints. If, unlike me, you're a hobby gardener, it's best to invest in plant pots for the floor or the stand. Arrange them in groups on the shelf or with a holder directly on the wall, for example.
Underwater plants
Because I don't like encountering jellyfish in the sea, but their appearance and the way they move is so enchanting, there are decorative objects whose shape is reminiscent of them. Create a still life with other accessories such as vases or real shells that reminds you of a reef and catapults you to the sea.
Exotic animals
Without any rational explanation, I projector myself into the distance at the sight of flamingos. I can also literally smell the sea when I see fish in the form of prints or crockery. Flamingos, which were hyped last year, are still on everyone's lips these days. Even though the new trend animal, the lobster, is already being used in a variety of ways from textile to product design. Choose your animal favourites and place them cleverly. This way, it will bring a surprise effect and a smile here and there - ideally when people visit. [[image:14525069 "Image: Ferm Living",14525086 "Image: Star Trading"]]
Fruity
Exotic fruits not only taste good, they also look great. That's why they work as eye-catchers on bookshelves or sideboards. Use them as a vase together with fresh flowers, as a casket for jewellery or for an aperitif. [[product:5757405,7807116,7944590]]
