I’ve got a thing about deep green tones at the moment, let’s call it jungle fever. I don’t know if it’s the positively tropical weather we are experiencing in the UK at the moment or the fact that big house plants are having a moment. My Instagram feed is awash with tropical inspo and I just can’t get enough of huge dark green leaves.

I’m talking Cheese plants, Fiddle Leaf Fig and enormous Cacti, although I must admit that I have a poor track record with house plants. They have felt old fashioned and stuffy for so long but the guys at Geo-Fleur and Grace & Thorn have inspired me to look at the old plants my Mum used to have around the house in a new light.
I find that deep shades of green work beautifully with neutral colour schemes and it looks divine paired with pink. I am hoping to add a big green friend to our totally out of control collection of cacti and succulents just as soon as I can figure out where to put it!
