FEEL THE VIBE: WITH A BOTANICAL INTERIOR YOU CELEBRATE SUMMER ALL YEAR ROUND

Is a ticket to the tropics not in the cards this year? With a botanical interior you will automatically find yourself in warmer spheres. With brighter-than-bright wallpaper, waving palms or even subdued naturals you shake the perfect cocktail for this tropical and botanical style. From now on, the living room will be your favorite hang-out.

THE BOTANICAL LIVING STYLE

With nature as a source of inspiration, the botanical interior style is not to be trifled with. For some, the urban jungle is not complete without a statement wall full of flora and fauna, while others look for more subtle tropical prints. One thing is for sure: you don't need green fingers, but you do need a healthy dose of courage. 

THE INGREDIENTS FOR A TROPICAL ATMOSPHERE IN YOUR HOME

• Wallpaper full of birds, butterflies, flowers and waving palms. And do I see a swinging monkey there too? 
• The color green in your favorite shade. 
• XL plants that immediately evoke that jungle feeling (ask in the store which varieties can withstand a knock). 
• Jute rug and other home accessories.  
• Accessories with organic shapes in brown and green tones. 
• Natural materials such as linen, bamboo and wood. 
• Wall tapestry with botanical print. 

BACK TO BASICS

Everyone gives their own twist to the tropical living style. Some people approach it very basic, others give it a chic touch - think of dark wallpaper with golden palms - and the real enthusiast wants to see all the inhabitants of the jungle in their home. Whatever your preference: the basis of a botanical interior is always calm. With warm winter tones, natural, sunny soft yellow and natural green. The calm use of colour and the use of natural materials give you a basis that you can always fall back on. 

MULTI-PURPOSE

When you think of a botanical style, do you mainly think of brightly colored flowers, birds and other tropical animals? Then the addition of deeper, more intense colors is also beautiful. Precisely because of that calm base, you can really go all out on one or more walls and still create a balanced color palette. For example, you can combine green tones surprisingly beautifully with lilac, deep purple and cobalt blue. And blue looks great with orange and ochre yellow. Is flamingo pink at the top of your list? Then you soften it with warm beige tones. Learn more about the art of color combinations here .

BOTANICAL WALLPAPER

Wallpaper is a popular choice in your club tropicana. It is therefore the way to get a room in the right mood in the blink of an eye. Wallpaper with palm trees is the big favourite, although we do not make it easy for you with our wallpaper collection . There are so many styles and colours that it may make you a bit dizzy. Therefore, always request a wallpaper sample of your favourites first. This way you will not only see how the colour looks in your room, but you will also get a better idea of ​​the size of the print. 

An important tip for those who find wallpaper a somewhat exciting choice or are afraid that it will all be a bit too colorful in your urban jungle: let the colors from the wallpaper return in paint or accessories.

YOU CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF BOTANICAL LIVING

No matter how calmly you apply the botanical or tropical interior style, it will of course remain 'present'. And that is perhaps the only doubt you can have about this warm living style. In that case, start with a calm base and gradually increase the temperature to tropical mode. With accessories such as decorative cushions and poster prints, but also with tableware and a lot of plants, you can bring the room into a holiday mood. 

For the wallpaper, don't choose the wall that you look at a lot, but give the wall behind the couch or your bed a makeover. And if that's still a bridge too far, you can also wallpaper a wall panel and put it against the wall. Or order a roll of the most, most beautiful wallpaper and frame a large piece of it.

Tip! Do you want to practice a bit with the botanical style first? Then start with a mini metamorphosis of the garden or conservatory. The transition from the outdoor green to the indoor green then feels very natural. Moreover, some indoor plants love to get a spot outside in the summer.
