Lucy Shore, Creative Designer at Swish, window dressing experts, comments:
“Hot on the heels of the coastal and beachy trends, the jungle trend is becoming extremely popular. The colour palette of this trend is mainly made up of bold metallics and statement colourways such as: artichoke greens and paprika reds with influxes of animal print and lush leafage taking centre stage when it comes to fabric, textures and prints.
“If you want to go wild with style, you can transform your home into an urban jungle by using bold wallpapers adorned with foliage or exotic plants to give that authentic jungle feel – animal print rugs with also make a bold style statement and transport you to the midst of the jungle.
“However, if you want to make more of a subtle nod to this style, you can do so by incorporating more understated accessories into your home. Animal print and leaf print cushions will really help bring this style to life, whilst metallics bring the look right up-to-date and luscious succulent plants will also help affirm this style by 'bringing the outside in'. As with so many trends this season, choose bronzed metallics which enhance the flora and fauna shades for a touch of luxury.
“Your window dressing is also key in bringing this style together. Opting for rich, flocked fabrics for curtains in one of the bold, jungle colourways will firmly cement this style. Use a curtain pole such as the Satin Steel option from Swish's Design Studio range (prices from £35) with Entwine finial to hang this fabric as it completely embodies this trend on account of its lush foliage style. The full range is available in a both a standard and bay window kit in 28mm and 35mm diameters, in lengths from 1.2m to 2.4m and priced from £35.
“The right tiebacks can undoubtedly be stylish as well as practical and can be used as an accent to emphasise a trend. The Cheviot tieback from Swish (£4.99 each) has a bold Turk's Head knot and slinky texture which perfectly complements the unequivocally fearless jungle trend – choose Sand, Pistachio or Ivory colour options for a laidback contrast to the bold curtain fabrics.”
