Advantages of urban jungle furnishings: more than just decoration
The term "urban jungle" literally means "urban jungle" - and that is precisely the aim of the furnishing style. The central idea is to bring nature indoors. Plants are therefore the absolute stars of the look! But of course combined with the right furniture and accessories. But it's not just about aesthetics. It's also about sustainability, mindfulness and a more conscious life. Because plants not only look decorative, they also have other benefits:
How to embellish your home with the urban jungle look
It's clear: plants are the main protagonists of the urban jungle look. But don't worry: you don't have to be an experienced gardener to implement the aesthetic in your home! When choosing plants, simply pay attention to the lighting conditions in the room. Succulents and cacti, for example, are ideal for bright locations. Monstera is also a good choice. For rooms with little light, we recommend ivy and monocots. You should also find out about the basic needs of the plants - such as water consumption.
You can let your imagination run wild when arranging the plants. But be sure to use a mixture of different sizes and shapes! Arrange them in a wild mix to create depth and dimension. This will enhance the jungle effect. You should also vary the plant pots. Terracotta pots or ceramic vases and planters work well and enhance the natural look. You can also make use of the room height and integrate hanging plants. The best way to do this is to use planters that are attached to the ceiling with macramé braiding. Don't have an idea for a free wall yet? Then think about a vertical garden here! To do this, attach various plants directly to the wall on a substructure.
Furniture in the urban jungle style is ideally made from natural materials. Go for wood, linen and bamboo here. In combination with the plants, these create a warm and inviting atmosphere. A simple sideboard made of light-colored wood, for example, fits fabulously into an urban jungle living room. Feel free to experiment with your choice of furniture! Garden furniture for example, can be perfectly repurposed for indoor use. In particular, use rattan furniture with wicker elements - these complement the jungle look particularly well.
Metal decorative elements go well with the different shades of green in the aesthetic. Make sure you opt for gold tones here! These bring additional warmth into the room. For textile decorative items, opt for natural fabrics again. Linen or cotton cushions or blankets are ideal. Still haven't had enough of the jungle look? Then you can also use tropical prints here!
