Whether you add one or two little touches or go all-out tropical oasis, these fun and fabulous items will bring a piece of paradise into your own home.
Potted Bird of Paradise, from Bloomscape
One of the best ways to make your place say “Welcome to the jungle” is to add plants, and plenty of them. This tall, glossy, dark green bird of paradise has a major impact, and you can choose from four shades of eco-friendly pot, including this beachy blue. Bloomscape also offers smaller plants like this colorful bromeliad and even a miniature pineapple plant—so you can choose the perfect specimen for your space, or create an entire indoor garden.

Blue Pheasant Palm Leaf Melamine Plates, from Food52
Continue the palm leaf theme on your plates; if you like a little more color, try this Hawaiian inspired floral design, or go with the more monochromatic style shown above. Either way, you’re getting shatterproof melamine, which means they’re ideal for taking outside—particularly perfect if you have a patio or balcony space, but they’ll be just as cute on the dining table too. Buy Now
W&P Large Brass Pineapple Tumbler with Straw, from Food52
Yeah, you can make yourself a pineapple cocktail and serve it in an actual pineapple at home, but this is way easier, and looks cute on your bookshelf in between drinks as a bonus. If it’s a bit too expensive for your taste, try these gold pineapple swizzle sticks for similar island flair at a way gentler price point. Buy Now
Tempaper Self-Adhesive Wallpaper in Tropical Jungle, from Food52
If you really want to go big, take your pick of tropic-inspired temporary wallpaper, from feathery palm prints and bold hoja plant graphics to flocks of pink flamingos and the above floral and leaf design with a subtle watercolor effect. Cover an accent wall, an entire room, or just line your shelves; it’s safe to use in the bathroom too, since it’s steam- and water-proof—and when you’re over it (or moving out), removing it is easy. Buy Now
Gale Switzer for Deny Tropical State Duvet Cover, from Urban Outfitters
Switching out your sheets is a lot less hassle than putting up wallpaper, and going with a lush tropical print could make lounging in bed almost as nice as lounging on the beach. This splashy orchid number is just one option; shop around for plenty of variations, including palms with wildlife if you like to monkey around. Buy Now
Cat Coquillette for Deny Tropical Fan Outdoor Pillow, from Urban Outfitters
This frond-festooned pillow is a minimalist gold masterpiece—and while it’s fit for outdoor use, there’s no reason you can’t also use it inside. If you’re not so much about toning things down, check out this four-pack of vibrant pillows with birds and blooms; on a neutral couch, they’d stand out without overwhelming the room. Buy Now
Nito Hurricane Candle Holder, from Williams Sonoma
This hand-blown glass candle holder (big enough for a 3-inch candle) is accented with woven nito, a sustainable, tropical vine in the fern family. It brings a nice organic bit of texture that works with almost any existing decor. Buy Now
Outdoor Blue Stripe Highball Glasses, from Williams Sonoma
Tiki glasses can be cute in a kitschy way, but these watery tumblers evoke the tropics in a manner that’s just plain pretty. Stare into the shades of blue and imagine it’s a Caribbean sea. And don’t worry about dropping them, because they’re scratch- and shatter-proof (and dishwasher-safe). Buy Now
Bright Ceramicist Vases, from West Elm
Vibrant pops of saturated color fit right into a tropical scheme, and these vases come in an array of sizes and shades, but the coral, turquoise, and sunny yellow are especially apt for our purposes. Buy Now
The Emily & Meritt Palm Floor Lamp, from Pottery Barn Teen
Shed a little light on the situation with a palm tree lamp. It’s a bold and brassy choice (literally). And you’ll never need to fear falling coconuts. Buy Now
Watercolor Tropical Shower Curtain, from Urban Outfitters
Why not keep the theme going in the bathroom too? It is appropriately steamy in there after all—but turn the cold tap on full blast and you can pretend you’re standing under a tropical waterfall surrounded by lush foliage. Buy Now
52-Inch McCall Tropical Ceiling Fan, from Wayfair
Lucky enough to have a lanai (or at least a small porch)? Install this fan with reversible blades for a resort look and a little extra airflow. It also works indoors, as long as you don’t need overhead light. Buy Now
Okaloosa Natural Fiber Tufted Turquoise Area Rug, from Wayfair
This jute and sisal rug with a simple geometric design is available in multiple sizes—try a runner to set a tropical tone as soon as you walk in the door, or go with a larger option for any room that needs a bigger splash of color. Buy Now
Dugan Tropics Jungle Pouf Ottoman, from Wayfair
Use this as an extra seat or a place to rest your feet, indoors or out (the Sunbrella fabric is fade- and mildew-resistant). The contrast piping in coral pink is a fantastic detail. Buy Now
Bamboo Frame Torey Armchair, from World Market
This retro-chic chair is sleek enough to go with whatever furniture you already own, but instantly adds a vacation vibe. (And it’s cheaper than this jungle-green velvet chaise that mimics the shape of a tropical leaf.) Buy Now
Yassi’s Place Monstera Leaf Print Set, on Etsy
If you like the look of plants but don’t have a green thumb, these lush art prints will never fail you. You can choose to have them delivered as digital files if you like a little DIY, or have them printed on paper or canvas in several different sizes. Buy Now
Flamingo Silicone Ice Pop Molds, from Williams Sonoma
Unfortunately, tropical heat isn’t unheard of even in the urban jungle, so you’ll need a way to cool off. If you don’t have space for a kiddie pool, you can always eat ice pops—if they’re bubble tea ice pops, Mexican paletas, or halo-halo pops, all the better. These flamingo shaped molds might make them taste even more amazing, but aesthetically, they’re also ideal for rosé wine pops. Buy Now
Rattan Bar Cart, from West Elm
This handmade rattan bar cart evokes a vintage tropical resort, and is the perfect place to hold all your tiki drink supplies. Roll it outside for the afternoon, then back in for a charming and functional accent piece. (This rattan bar cart is far more affordable, though currently out of stock; you can sign up to be notified when it’s back.) Don’t forget to keep your copy of “Tiki: Modern Tropical Cocktails” close at hand! Buy Now
Justina Blakeney Yala Mirror, from Anthropologie
The sunburst shape and woven fibers of this cheeky mirror perfectly embody the jungalow style (which makes sense, as the designer, Justina Blakeney, trademarked it). You’ll be checking yourself out far more often just to get a glimpse of this fun frame. Buy Now
Tropical Rattan Candle in Oasis, from Anthropologie
Evocative scents can instantly transport you, and this little number’s fragrance notes are “orange, pineapple, and mango with a woody base,” which sounds like somewhere we’d definitely like to be. We’re also tempted by these Brazilian Orchid, Polynesian Pineapple, and Blue Lagoon scents…but the fact that the one above comes wrapped in rattan absolutely gives it an edge. Buy Now
Build Your Own Tropical Fruit Box, from Tropical Fruit Box
While you’re lounging around in your new environs, why not enjoy an actual taste of the tropics to complete the illusion? This company offers boxes of single variety produce (pineapples, mangoes, Korean melons), and a tropical combo box—but you can also create your own collection from a plethora of enticing options, including breadfruit, guava, papaya, apple bananas, dragon fruit, longan, lychee, Key limes, and mamey. It’ll be hard to pick which six you want (though you can choose as few as three fruit types if you know what you like)! Buy Now
