I go hard on the fake foliage, though not as hard as I wish I could on account of having an Enchanted Tiki Kitchen rather than a full Enchanted Tiki Lounge. Basically, anywhere above the cupboards that isn't occupied by a mug is stuffed with greenery and flowers, as well as the mantle of our blinds and a vase on our kitchen table. I love the look of a verdant jungle pressing in from all sides. To me, it's the essence of a tropical paradise! I prefer silk as well, mainly orchids, hibiscus, and birds of paradise. We do have a silk palm, but it's actually in our Victorian living room (which also has silk Boston ferns). That fellow does need a good dusting though... Maybe even a trip to the shower. No special lighting as such, though we do have a couple of those Halloween lights that project a swirling blue (for underwater) or green (for a jungle effect). We've got a good silk plant store in our city, but have also trucked down to the Michael's for some.
