Jungalow Interiors

Natural colours, foliage and materials are mixed with classic furniture designs and accessories to create a fabulous JUNGALOW home interior. The jungalow trend will create a fresh and tropical feel in your home interior whilst keeping the room simple and stylish instead of bold and bright.

Foliage is definitely the key element of this interior trend and should be the main focus of your chosen room. Opt for large tropical plants such as palms, yuccas and spider plants that can be displayed in plain terracotta or tribal style planters in strategic positions within the room. Use the plants to accentuate empty corners of the room or place next to a seating area or bed to create a focal point within the space. For smaller rooms opt for table top planters that can be used to display a selection of tropical house plants such as orchids or lilies and decorate with plumes of banana leaves for added jungle inspired greenery.

Keep colour schemes calm and neutral with simple cream and beige, soft brown and taupe or muted sand and burnt orange. If you wish to create an area of visual detail on a feature wall, chimney breast or alcove area then opt for botanical wallpapers featuring palm fronts or banana leaf prints that will add a pop of colour to the room. For a more subtle hint of pattern or colour you could also opt for tribal style wallpaper in cream, brown and burnt orange that will create a cosy and stylish feel within your chosen space.

When selecting furniture for your jungalow style room then try to keep your choice as natural and cosy as possible. Rattan style furniture is a great choice in recreating the natural finishes of the jungle and works particularly well on seating, coffee and dining tables. Walnut is also a perfect choice for this look as its rich tones and textural grain will create an inviting feel that works well alongside the neutral colour schemes and botanical greenery. Where possible keep your wooden furniture untreated or weathered for a traditional feel. Alternatively, for some visual detail include furniture items with African style, carved filigree doors and drawer fronts or items painted with tribal artwork that will add style and colour to the room. For a more quirky design then include a mix and match of furniture styles and designs that will create a bohemian feel in your interior space.

As you can see this look is all about keeping the room as natural as possible so when picking your soft furnishing try and choose simple linen and cotton fabrics that will compliment the overall look. Plain unbleached linen curtains will look great hung on a walnut or oak curtain pole or opt for tribal style designs or palm print drapes for added colour and pattern. Select bohemian style rugs with woven patterns and tassel style edges that will compliment a neutral carpet or rich wooden floor. Add a selection of cushions along a sofa or bed featuring a mix and match of tribal, botanical and plain linen prints to create a focal point within the room. Accessorise with a variety of natural wood vases and plants, tribal ornaments and wooden lanterns and photo frames for a cosy yet relaxed finishing touch.
