How to Use Pineapple Print in Your Home

Bold statement prints are hot on trend this season and create an area of visual detail and colour within the home. With summer just around the corner the design world has taken some tropical beach side inspiration with a range of fun and funky pineapple print items, fabrics and accessories that will give a fresh and bright contemporary feel with a hint of retro charm.

Wallpaper

Statement wallpapers are a great way of adding detail to a plain wall or alcove area and can introduce a main or accent colour into your chosen interior space. Classic retro pineapple print designs feature typical tropical colour palettes such as palm green, yellow and earthen browns and look fabulous in 1960s or 1970s style interiors for a fun and funky focal point. If you prefer a more bright and uplifting design opt for a simple, linear pineapple print pattern in light white, baby blue, pink and orange for a modern and summery feel. For a more chic and sophisticated look then select a simple monochrome small pineapple print with accents of metallic gold or silver for a high quality look that would not look out of place in a luxury beach front villa.

Cushions

For a truly tropical seating or sleeping area then why not add a selection of pineapple print cushions alongside some bold palm tree print designs to create a luscious and colourful focal point within your chosen interior space. For a more vibrant contemporary feel then select pineapple print cushions in bold neon shades such as turquoise, magenta, yellow and lime and pair them with 3D pineapple shaped cushions and plain fluorescent designs that look fabulous in more minimal home interiors. For a splash of glamour and elegance choose designs with a central pineapple design in sequins, beads or glitter and pair them with cocktail glass patterns, and slogan cushions such as ‘relax’, beach life’ and ‘pina colada’ for a fun yet chic appearance.

Bedding

Tropical bedding designs are hot on trend this year with both high street and high end designers opting for these colourful and uplifting prints and colours. For a fresh and illuminating Caribbean bedroom, select crisp white, turquoise and bold pink colour palettes that feature a selection of pineapple prints, tropical hibiscus plants and palms to create a feminine and bright focal point in the room.  For a more retro look opt for simple repetitive pineapple prints in typical vintage colours such as navy blue, orange, ochre and forest green that look great with a matching wallpaper for a truly eye-catching finish. If you prefer a bedroom that oozes glamour and refined elegance then select a simple monochrome or grey and black bed set with abstract pineapple designs and embroidered accents of beads, sequins and metallic threads that can be teamed with gold, silver and crisp white sheets for a chic and exquisite finish.

Accessories

Pineapple shaped accessories have been a popular addition to homes around the world since the early 1960s. The spherical shape is a great visual detail to feature in the home and can be used to create areas of detail on a mantelpiece, windowsill or sideboard area. Pineapple shaped vases, candle holders and ornaments will give a tropical twist to any home interior and look great in tropical colours such as coral, azure and lime. Pineapple shaped lamp bases have been used in the interior design world since the early 20th century and are a visually elegant design feature that can be carved in marble, wood or even glass for a focal point on a lamp table or console. You can also add items such as pineapple print mugs, plates and coasters, wall clocks, and fruit bowls for a more retro interior feel.

Furniture

For an authentic Caribbean interior design then select a traditional British colonial coffee or dining table in heavy carved mahogany or walnut for a rich and eye-catching centre piece. These classic designs feature a circular table top with a single central support that is carved into a detailed pineapple design that is textural and chunky. This design will look great in a fresh white interior space with accents of green, yellow and blue for a bright and relaxing ambiance. For a more retro feel select white painted furniture items with lacquered inserts of pineapple print on the table tops, drawer fronts and doors in bright vintage colours or team a plain table with pineapple print upholstered dining chairs for a burst of colour and pattern.
