Inspiration: Tropical Plants
Tropical wallpapers, floral arrangements, tiles and more
It's been raining hard here in Atlanta for days. As I've cozied up in my house, the storms reminded me of the tropics, and I started cruising Houzz for some tropical elements that inspire.
From a simple floral arrangement to a tree, from leaf artwork to an entire wall of tropics-inspired tile or wallpaper, tropical plants bring to mind bright colors and fresh, airy design. Let's have a look!
P.S. Side Note: Now that I live in the south, I've picked up on some funny etiquette customs. Did you know that people used to put a pineapple on their mantles for a party? The pineapple is a symbol of welcoming. Thus, when the hosts were ready for everyone to get the heck out of their house, instead of yawning loudly, they would simply remove the pineapple from the mantle and all of the guests would know it was time to vamoose!

This floral arrangement is the icing on the cake in this clean white room. It also shows how well turquoise works with a dash of orange.
I love the pop this simple tree adds to the room. It also shows how well these shades of green work can work with reds without looking like Santa's workshop.
The intruding leaves here show just how blurred the lines between indoors and outdoors are in this room.
I love this jungle-inspired color scheme. The beige, bamboo brown and soft greens as well as the blend of textures creates a serene bedroom.
If you have a black thumb, you can bring the tropics in with bedding...
