Wallpaper Trends: Get set for Some Escapism With Tropical Shores

Dreaming of summer sunshine, swaying palm trees and the sand between your toes? Us too! Let’s face it, holidays are never far from anyone’s mind and when it comes to destinations, a tropical paradise is always going to be a winner.

It’s little surprise then, that the love of all things tropical is spilling over into our home decor. Design-savvy decorators are embracing the opportunity to bring the outdoors in, putting a fresh spin on things with large, luscious palm prints and exotic animals inspiring eye-catching wallpapers and murals.

Our designer, Elaine Butler, says, “Colour can have a dramatic effect on our emotions, and collections such as Tropical Shores, that include uplifting, positive hues are the perfect option to bring a feeling of joy and optimism to homes. These prints take inspiration from far-flung places, and exotic botanicals, to create a stunning final look that can’t help but put you in a positive state of mind.”

Make a statement with tropical leaf wallpaper

Bring the Tropical Shores wallpaper trend to life with striking leaf patterns. This is the perfect way to bring style to any room in your home, and with so many washable wallpaper options too – you can even use it to decorate your bathroom. It’s the perfect backdrop to a bath full of bubbles where you can kick back, relax and daydream about that tropical trip.

However, far from being restricted to smaller spaces, we love to see tropical prints used to full show-stopping effect, large scale wall murals that provide the perfect way to easily create an eye-catching feature wall.

Our Jungle Escapes mural is beautiful mix of colours and print, creating a dramatic dream destination style interior. This full-scale mural with its detailed mix of trees and foliage creates a stunning feature wall.

To create the ultimate tropical vacation vibe, keep things simple and style with a mix of white and natural wood furnishings and some real-life leafy foliage in seagrass planters.

Drawing influence from the outdoors, gorgeous green leafy wallpaper is making a big comeback – and the bigger the print, the better.

Whether you’re choosing wallpaper for your bathroom, bedroom or living room, these bold botanicals create a vibrant style that works well in any room.

Our Tropicana Floral Leaf wallpaper blends a crisp white background with a mix of green leaves to create a tastefully tropical design. This space is fun and fresh – and combining this wallpaper with classic white wood panelling really accentuates the print.

Keeping things cool and crisp, style with matching pastel furnishings and accessories to create a space that channels your dream destination.

As tropical interior decor starts to take a more daring route, we’ll also see deeper colours and larger, more vivid prints continue to gain popularity.

With this Tropical Shores trend, it’s all about letting your walls take centre stage. So, to style this look, stick with simple accents, organic textures, woven touches and plenty of large indoor plants.

Escape to the tropics with exotic animal wallpaper

Taking our love of all things leafy up a notch, exotic animal wallpaper will also be key to this Tropical Shores trend.

Think brightly coloured parrots and cockatoos, flamboyant flamingos and jungle animals.

These exotic prints will definitely add a tropical touch to your interiors.

Our Eden Tropical Wallpaper is the perfect example of this exotic animal wallpaper style. 

The dark black background brings the various wild and wonderful jungle creatures to life, creating a curious and quirky focal point in your room.

It’s a design for true tropical trendsetters.

To recreate the look, style with natural woods and pastel soft furnishings that complement the colours in this eclectic design.

Circling back to those larger and more vivid prints, our Tropical Heights mural will make your imagination run wild.

This vibrant wall mural features a mix of tropical trees and exotic animals, set against a fresh pink background. With leopards, sloths and parrots frolicking amongst the foliage, this mural is designed to add energy and interest to your interiors.

To style, choose neutral colours and natural materials that don’t compete with the tropical transformation you’ve made to your walls.
