The trend of 2018 is theexotic decor, which gave birth to two styles: that tropical and that jungle. Two similar but, at the same time, different trends; for this reason it is important to know how to recognize and distinguish them. But let’s start step by step; the first thing to remember about the exotic style is that it has managed to conquer all lovers and enthusiasts of home decor and beyond. In addition, this trend has enriched the collections of many furniture brands; its main features? Prints, complements and accessories which, due to their colors and shapes, evoke journeys to distant lands and the atmospheres of tropical countries.
The characteristics of the jungle style

Furnishing your home in a jungle style means giving it an exotic touch, through the use of objects and accessories with patterns and bright colors, and the choice of floral decorations and wallpapers with huge green leaves.
Choosing the jungle style for the living room, the entrance or even the bedroom means giving life to an original space and making the home environment cheerful and witty.
What distinguishes the jungle trend is the green color, declined in all its shades, from the darkest and most intense to the lime green that immediately gives an unpredictable twist to the whole room.

If you love this style, we advise you to opt for a beautiful wallpaper with a print of huge green leaves, which immediately catapult us into tropical countries; moreover, to recreate a glamorous environment you can insert the jungle print only on one wall and leave the rest of the wall neutral.
What can’t be missing? A large mirror with a golden frame, which gives a touch of elegance and refinement, or, you can insert paintings resting on the ground or even huge vases with plants of various sizes. The jungle style is also perfect in the bathroom, the ideal environment to recreate the exotic atmosphere.
But that’s not all, because if you don’t like wallpaper, you can recreate the atmosphere of the tropics by focusing on textiles, such as floral print sheets, sofa fabrics and cushions with maxi green leaves and cactus, up to the curtains.
