Garden
A tropical garden is a lush landscape filled with exotic and tropical plants to create dense vegetation.
Tropical garden styles are perfect for those who like, impact, a lush, exotic landscape.
Tropical garden style
Tropical gardens can be awesome spaces, with lush evergreen foliage and deep hues. You can even create a real sense of immersion.
The idea of a tropical garden is to evoke a sense of being immersed in nature, surrounded by evergreen foliage. A space with depth, where you can't see everything at once, and where there is a slight sense of adventure and intrigue for the curiosity.
Massive and hollow
To complete the experience, you can use elements such as natural light, through tall plants, clumps of vegetation and gaps with lower or thinner vegetation.
Water fountains
The sound, for example, of a small water fountain is another element to create the atmosphere you want.
Small projects also work
So you might think that's a lot for a smaller house, but that's where tropical inspiration comes in. You can simply create a little atmosphere in your entrance or hallway with lush foliage plants.
Tips for making a tropical garden
Add vibrant colors with exotic plants, varied foliage, massed or mixed using these techniques:
Staggering tropical plants of different heights to create dense vegetation
Focusing on dark green plants
Adding notes of color with exotic flowers
Avoiding rigid planting borders
Placing stones or elements such as rustic vases in the garden
Just Tropical plants
What kind of house goes well with a tropical garden?
Contemporary, modern, brutalist, industrial houses are perfect and, in fact, whatever house's style you have, what you need to take into account is the climate in your area, as some tropical plants don't survive in low temperatures.
Color palette for tropical gardens
Dark green is the predominant color in a tropical garden. Add notes of color with different species.
Use wood or worn-looking composites in natural color. Stones or concrete elements also add interest to the look
Tropical garden plants
It's worth considering palm trees, ferns, bamboos, hostas and lilies. Strelitzia, lobelia, tupa and bromeliads, succulents, philodendrons, dracaenas, yucca plants, fern, these are a few, but the list of tropical plants is immense.
You'll usually find that bright colors are used sparingly in a tropical garden, just to create more spots. Splashes of dark reds, bright whites or deep pinks glow between huge waving leaves of evergreen foliage.
