The most well known tropical plant is in fact the Arecaceae, more commonly known as the palm tree. There are in fact many thousands of different varieties, such as the well recognised coconut palm or date palm.

In fact there are a number that do not grow beyond five feet, ideal for indoor use.<br /><br /><br /><br />In addition, rich brown leathers are very commonplace, as are other animal designed fabrics. Leopard spotted fabric can often look cheap and tacky, however, when combined with a tropical feel it eases in very nicely and actually looks much more refined . The same is true for zebra stripes and the like.

Complete the green theme with dark brown or grey furniture and you will have the modern décor of class nature.
