Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Imagine you are on your own private island.
The wind is blowing in your hair, the white sand is tickling your toes, and your day’s agenda consists only of naps on the hammock and sipping fruity cocktails with palm trees swinging gently in the backdrop.
Since we can’t always be transported to a tropical island, why not bring paradise to you? There are many ways tropical leaves can transform your home into a paradise island. The perfect houseplants are ferns, rubber figs trees and areca palms. They can be used as wallpaper, framed wall prints or fabric prints on curtains or throw pillows.
It’s hard to choose just one type of tropical leaf, that’s why we created a visual guide to help you determine your favorite types. There are many different leaf types that can be used to create tropical decor. Split leaf Philodendrons, also known by Monstera leaves, are fan-shaped leaves with oval-shaped central stems. These leaves can be used to make wall prints and are great for hanging. Large banana leaves, a common backyard plant, can be used for your next outdoor party. Use large banana leaves to cover your tabletop for a spectacular tablescape. With their large leaf sizes and unique geometric patterns, fan palms are great for hanging on the wall to create a backdrop that brings life to any party.
