Last week while reviewing Elle magazine, I noticed a new fashion trend. And I’m not talking about flowers or neon colors, this trend as they called it Urban Jungle, is coming to a Summer near you. I was instantly captivated by the simplicity and textures of all these pieces and decided to convert and transform this tendency into a decor statement.

To resume this hot trend, here are some key words that better describe it: burlap, olive green, khaki colors, strong fabric, wood, snakeskin, scales, pearled, scales, white.

I’ve collected a couple of great interior examples displaying some characteristics of this “out-of-the-oven” trend. 

  

From Ashley Stark’s apartment on Elle Decor Magazine, beautiful snakeskin bench from Karl Springer. (Right) Snakeskin planter from I Want Plants. See the detail at the lower right corner or the photo, just fascinating.

  

Safari styled room from Ulusaba Private Reserve.

Another impressive room in the middle of the savanna.

And now, here is my version of a room design with some of the characteristics presented above and from Elle’s Urban Jungle trends. Each item is identified so feel free to click over the ones you like to be taken to the website that carries each one of them.
