Urban Jungle Style: When Chic and Elegance Are Enriched with an Exotic Touch

The urban jungle style is one of the trends that is increasingly spreading in the world of interior design. The period of permanence within the domestic walls and the spread of smart working have led to the rediscovery of homes and at the same time have inspired the need to re-establish contact with nature . In many homes, the lack of balconies, terraces or gardens has led to the search for alternative solutions to create environments in which to immerse oneself in moments of regenerating relaxation . It is no coincidence that the plant element is the protagonist of this trend that draws its inspiration from the need to find a respite from daily stress. The rooms take on a fresh and lively appearance making room for plants of all kinds , from tropical and wild species to those that require little care and attention. At the same time, it is not enough to simply scatter plants and flowers to obtain the effect you are looking for. Furniture is also an important element , but thanks to the strongly characterizing presence of greenery, the furniture is enhanced for its functionality even before its design lines. This makes it very easy to transform your homes along the lines of this trend and allows you to create original mixes between different furnishing styles just by adding a few particular accessories. If you don't know where to start, just scroll through the article and let yourself be inspired by the ideas proposed!
