“Tropical palms are in abundance in this photograph of
Eleuthera Pool Party in Bahamas taken in 1970. It would enhance
rooms that overlook outdoor spaces, and create the impression of
looking out of a window at the scene to make you feel like you’ve
escaped to your own pool party!”

“Getty Images Gallery is the owner of the Slim Aarons archive, the
uber-collectable chronicler of the golden age of wealth and beauty.
Slim Aarons’ photographs captured a privileged world of leisure, and
epitomise 20th Century glamour. He often spent summers with high
society and the aristocracy on the Mediterranean or the Caribbean.
Slim’s photographs are the perfect match for the Tropical interiors trend
and has inspired me to give a curated taste of our vast collection.
This photograph was taken in 1989 of Pierre Vincent Marais and his
wife Isabelle on holiday with friends at Gelliceaux House, on the island
of Mustique in the Grenadines. The beautiful cool aqua blue will give a
fresh and uplifting energy to a room.”

“I love the burst of sunny, vibrant colours in this photograph of
Valerie Cates in Marbella, Spain, taken in 1976 that perfectly
captures the summery botanical interiors trend.”

Amie Lewis, Director, Getty Images Fine Art Sales and Exhibitions, gives an insight
on curating photography and how to combine Getty Images Gallery’s rich resource
of images with the latest interior trends. One of the season’s hottest design vibes
is the Tropical theme; a joyous celebration of nature - palm leaves are a key motif
for this look along with summery botanical imagery. gettyimagesgallery.com
