Time for Tropical Style

December 29, 2015 By Michelle Lamb -

Tropical looks started a quiet build over a year ago, and have been building slowly. At the Showtime decorative textiles market, however, they were out in force. Palm leaves were the top choice, but broader versions were also there. So were flowers, albeit many fewer than leaves. Other design elements:

  • Animal skins…returning to trend
  • Bamboo…in accent roles
  • Palm trees…less important than palm leaves alone
  • Parrots, toucans and other colorful birds…declining from their peak in early 2015

Here are some of the newest designs with a tropical vibe that emerged at Showtime:

American Silk
Braemore
Circa 1801

Covington
Home Accent Fabrics
Home Fabrics

Madcap Cottage for Robert Allen
Sunbrella
Vilber
