Shining on the TROPICS ????

Aloha! Tropical leaves seem to be THE print to have this summer and I have definitely fallen for the craze. Banana leaf and palm tree prints are everywhere – from fashion, home decor and accessories. I can’t get enough of them so naturally, I had to share a few of my favorites and sources to get the look for yourself!

Can you guess where this is? It’s the famous Beverly Hills Hotel designed in the 1940’s and quite possible the origin of the popular print – proving that it is timeless. The Beverly Hills Hotel is known for many things, notably this Martinique Wallpaper which is in their Fountain Coffee Shop.

Another way to incorporate this pattern is through fabric – window treatments and pillows are small changes that make a big difference.
