When you think of design elements that embody the classic styles of vacation destinations like Palm Beach or Palm Springs, a bold banana leaf print comes to mind. Dating back to the 40's and 50's, perhaps most notably used in the Fountain Coffee Room of the swanky Beverly Hills Hotel, and by design icons like Dorothy Draper, the print has made a comeback in a big way. And maybe it's because we live in Palm Beach, but we are dying to use it! I would love to add some throw pillows to my guest quarters decor, and Christin can't wait to paper a powder room.
The great thing about banana leaves is that they are a natural occurring element, so whether you use a print or the real thing, the outcome is just as chic! But beware, not all banana leaf prints are created equal!
