Urban Rainforest

Urban Rain forest

Yes.. the leaves, trees and the whole tropical ambiance is making its way indoors creating the woods within our hectic lives. Not only does this concept calms our busy lifestyle, it also stimulates our senses and inspire creativity. Though the trend had never been out of fashion, a more upstyle trend of amalgamating the thick foliage in large print is in fashion than never before.

Let it be sofas, cushions, rugs, lamps, wall papers or photo frames, the nature could have the highest influence on prints. It lights up the living spaces with colors, shapes and patterns of tropical soil.

In the fashion industry, the shades of tropical leafy greens and bold sunlit blooms dominate casual and holiday wear taste. The pallet is so rich that it includes almost every shade of green and brown. Soft silk material gives vibrance to these bold prints and radiates a more youthful appeal. It’s as if the sun has suddenly shown its brighter face to the whole of earth inspiring our outlook towards life with its light and warmth.

The natural subjects also inspire pattern and form in accessories to complete this whole tropical extravagance.

The palm, banana and taro leaves are the perfect embodiment of tropical exquisity.

What makes the trend even more unique is how the greens could actually be brought home in containers, hanging pots or ramshackle structures. This unique urban tree house experience creates the ultimate refuge indoors, out in the terrace or balcony. The pots themselves reflect the unique individuality and aesthetic by the use of materials such as stone-ware, wood, porcelain, glass, terra-cotta, seashells, concrete and even specialized paper. Nylon and forms of metal have replaced knotted sisal and natural hanging material. In potted plants succulants and cacti takes a center stage this season for its convenience in handling and maintenance.The fusion of these plants create the ideal “green wall” inside the living spaces.
