down with anything that remotely evokes sunshine and summer, so it’s no surprise we LOVE the all the tropical homeware that’s out and about at the moment. It’s pretty easy to get into the tropical spirit, as you only need to work with a handful of key motifs…flamingos, pineapples, birds of paradise and palm trees will see you right.

Palm print is probably the most versatile, and the easiest, way to work with the tropical theme, and it looks strong on everything from soft furnishings to wallpaper. If you don’t want to turn your home into a full-on jungle, subtle tropical accents can be introduced with effective results…pineapples on your spoons? It just works. That’s the beauty of tropical homeware, you can go as delicate or as wild as you please. Take a look at this lot and try for yourself…
