Conjure a sultry vibe or bring welcome life to modern rooms. Whatever your interior design style, palm trees are the ticket to enhancing it

Give your rooms exotic flair in a single stroke. Tall Kentia palm fits the tropical bill beautifully

Get the look of the tropics without the full-on sun and high humidity — parlor palm tolerates regular indoor conditions with aplomb

Appeal to exotic good taste with fruit trees, palms and tropical look-alikes in your temperate-climate garden

Toss a palm frond in a vase or gather a whole bouquet — fresh or preserved tropical leaves bring on the exotic with almost no effort

Palm fronds, banana leaves and other tropical botanical patterns can add a lush, exotic atmosphere to any room

Pull up a chaise and picture the palm fronds — we did the legwork on where to find tropical furniture and accessories so you can relax
