Tropical fever has hit the interior design world this summer with an array of gloriously colourful prints hitting the high street as well as beautiful botanical themes and animal prints that give a fresh and vibrant ambiance within the home. If typically tropical parrots and palms are not quite to your taste then why not take a look at these 5 fabulously elegant yet perfectly vibrant hummingbird items and accessories that will add an elegant and colourful summer ambiance to any room of the home.
Wallpaper
Intricate and bold wallpapers are as popular as ever and hummingbird wallpapers are unique in their ability to bring together two of this season’s biggest trends; florals and animal print. We love this beautifully detailed wallpaper (left) that features elegant botanical colour schemes and shapes such as vibrant magenta, blue and yellow as well as more classic garden tones such as fern green, duck egg and lilac. The fine detail of the imagery creates a mural style feature wall that will look fabulous in a traditional living room or bedroom area. For a more modern take on this look then select a bold design with simple humming bird silhouettes in white or black with a vibrant backdrop of tropical colour tones.
Cushions
Printed cushions are a great way of introducing a theme or colour into your existing home interior and can be scattered along a seating area or bed spread for a textural visual detail. Hummingbird cushions look fabulous teamed with warm cream cushions, pastel tones or bold neon colours and can also be paired with floral patterned designs for a sense of garden elegance and colour. For a classic look then select elegant watercolour style hummingbird designs in eye-catching colours that will look fabulous against a neutral or bold backdrop. Or alternatively select abstract or stylised hummingbird designs that will look great alongside bold black and vibrant yellow or pink for a contemporary interior look.
Bedding
Bold and bright bedding sets will create a focal point within your bedroom interior and make a great alternative to a wallpapered feature wall. Crisp white sheets with floral print covers and hummingbird prints will look great in a classic bedroom interior. The light and bright floral accents and white tones will create a fresh and uplifting ambiance that is perfect for more compact bedroom areas. More vibrant tropical tones will create a relaxing Caribbean garden design that can be partnered with bright fuchsia or azure sheets for a bold and eye-catching design. For a more modern and masculine take on this look then select grey, white and black bedding with a single accent colour that features abstract trees, and flowers and flat printed hummingbird imagery for a sophisticated and sleek interior finish.
Crockery
There is nothing nicer than throwing a fun summer party, BBQ or an elegant dinner for friends and family so why not make a feature of your dining space with some fabulous hummingbird print crockery and table decor. Select elegant hummingbird designs in seasonal colour palettes such as orange, red and yellow or tropical hues such as turquoise, purple, pink and green for a burst of feel good colour. Choose classic hand painted plates and cups and pair them with coloured glasses, and plain napkins and placemats as not to distract from the detail of your crockery. To finish off your table setting place a large colourful vase in the centre of the table and create a floral arrangement of lilies, palm fronds, daisies and hibiscus for a bold, tropical centrepiece.
Storage
If you are anything like me then you will never have quite enough storage in your home. If you find yourself with limited space to store your bits and bobs then what better way to hide your clutter and showcase a new theme in your home than with a selection of storage boxes that can be tucked away or placed on full display within the home. I have fallen head over heels for these fabulous Hat boxes by Matthew Williamson (left) that feature an array of fabulous tropical colours and foliage as well as delicate and intricate hummingbird images. These three boxes of varying sizes can be used to house your clothing accessories, make up or general nik naks and will look fabulous stacked in the corner of the room, on a side table or placed in increasing or decreasing size along a shelf for a pop of colour and visual detail.
