There is something about tropics. They make us feel all warm inside, fresh and alive. It could be to do with that ravishing scent of summer, the infusion of green plants and trees which after all is the color of life. But we can’t always hop on a plane and travel to some exotic land such as Caribbean, right? Who has the time or the money to do that on a frequent basis? But what we can do instead is bring some of those beautiful tropics into our own gardens and suddenly we feel like we have taken a holiday right at home. Of course it all depends on your landscape but few useful tricks can do the job just right.

Outside your door

Palm trees swaying softly in the wind and white pebbles bring that tropical feeling to your garden in one instant.

Cozy and warm

Wooden chairs and tables under a big old tree. Stone pavements and green scenery all around us. What could be more perfect than that? Your own relaxing sanctuary.

Bamboo is something else

Bamboo is a big thing when it comes to garden designs. It is modern and very chic. It is amazing what a few green plants planted in cool bamboo shelves set against the backdrop of your garden walls can do to make you feel suddenly not in your city or suburban area.

If you have enough space for a swimming pool in your garden, then you are in luck. Surround the pool with green plants and wooden floors for that ‘I am off to the spa-feeling’. And nearby set a comfy sofa and colorful cushions. And there you have your own tropical getaway.

Cool and collected

If you have space but you don’t wish for too many plants or trees, perhaps it is too much work or you just don’t like it, but wait a touch of green is still missing in your paradise? Then why don’t you plant one or two palm trees at the center of your garden or terrace. And suddenly the feeling is quite beautiful.

An afternoon well spent

Time for leisure? Those wooden floorboards warm under your feet and that soft garden bed that you can’t wait to plump yourself into after a long day at work? Just a quick idea for bringing tropics to your garden, terrace or balcony even?

Green Oasis

It’s all about playing with color and movement, planning where you plant things and what color they bring to your garden. Basically a good selection of easily available tropical plants and evergreen foliage.

Exotic touches

Tropics are all about glossy-leafed foliage plants and a variety of bold greens. Introduce an exotic statue that towers near a small pond set in stone.

An illusion to the eye

The tropical illusion starts with mats and cushions in your outdoor entertaining area like in this Moroccan inspired garden with its bold background and never forget the green element, that is always a definite focus when it comes to tropics.

Comfort zone

Hammocks, bamboo or rattan seats like this comfortable chair invite relaxation to your home.

Green arcade

Welcome to your sanctuary. This perfect stone walkway surrounded by various size trees is another great idea. But don’t forget not all plants are winter-friendly. Depends how cold it gets where you live, don’t forget to protect your plants.

Asian perfection at home

An exotic garden and you have left your every day life behind. What draws attention to exotic here is lots of gray pebbles and an irregular dark stone pathway against the green backdrop.

A little space to observe

What about when you don’t have really have that much space or you just want one corner of your garden to turn into a tropical oasis. A tree at the center with its blooming flowers, white stones pressed against lush green lawn and the walls in a more earthier brown color which infuses everything perfectly together.

A quiet corner

Sometimes all you need to create a tropical feeling is to buy a few pots, black or gray to create that contrast to the beautiful vegetation that you plant inside. Like here beautiful pink flowers and green leaves and what is fantastic about it, you don’t really need much space for this. It can be tucked in the garden in some quiet corner or your terrace and one sighting of this will make you feel all warm inside regardless what the real weather is around you.
