Create your own urban jungle

Creating an urban jungle decor is fun, very contemporary and has many other benefits. While urban jungle itself is synonymous with city life; traffic noise, pollution, concrete buildings, urban jungle decor is about creating an oasis in the middle of all this chaos. It's about creating a green paradise in your home, full of natural elements. No matter what style you like, Scandinavian, classic, boho, you can always incorporate it into your urban jungle home.



Furniture for tropical interior

Do you like furniture with rattan or bamboo? And do you also love natural materials such as wood and seagrass? Then you're ready to create your perfect tropical urban jungle! Read more about our tips for choosing the matching furniture for an urban jungle style.



Which color suits a green interior?

Green can be a neutral color that goes with almost all colors. Depending on the tone and darkness of the green, the combination with white gives your home a soothing effect, because shades of white reduce all shades of green. Brown is also a great color to pair with green because together they mimic the colors of nature. Brown represents the earth and green represents the forest. If you want to be bold, go orange! Orange adds a spark, just like the radiant sun. Ocher yellow also looks beautiful with a green interior because they complement each other. Ultimately, it's up to you which color you want to choose, depending on your style, whether you want to be bold or neutral. P.s. A gold tint gives your green interior that little bit of extra luxury ;).



Choose natural materials and textiles

Now that you know which colors you can use in your home, you can take this into account when choosing the furniture. Dark green and white, for example, look great with gold accents and wooden elements. Think of a teak table, wooden chairs or a bamboo hanging lamp. Combine them with accessories made of natural textiles such as cotton or linen.



Add (lots of) houseplants to your space

Plants filter dirt and toxins from the air and improve indoor air. Not only that, they also reduce stress and calm the mind. To create a jungle look, monstera plants are the best choice. Their large and beautiful leaves are perfect for any room. Besides monstera, fern and banana plants are other popular choices. Mix and match between different plants, plants with large leaves and small leaves, or plants with flowers such as canna lilies, orchids and hibiscus. Don't forget to put them in beautiful natural stone pots (https://mavendesign.uk/search/plant%20pots).



Play with art

Afgedrukte bloemen of dierenfoto's zijn geweldig om de bo-satmosfeer na te bootsen. Denk aan tijgerprints, papegaaienpatroon en flamingoprint. Aquarelkunstwerken zijn ook geweldig omdat ze er authentiek en natuurlijk uitzien. Zet de schilderijen of tekening in verschillende lijsten zoals houten lijsten of koperen lijsten en combineer diverse afbeeldingen om een unieke look in je kamer te creëren.



Finish it off with the animals

Of course, a jungle is not complete without animals. For example, think of a (life-size) giraffe lamp or a monkey holding a lamp to really imagine yourself in the jungle.
