That holiday feeling, without the flight.

There's something about an areca palm that makes a room instantly feel lighter. The fronds are airy, the canes slender and golden, the whole silhouette effortlessly relaxed — like your living room has quietly decided it's somewhere warmer. Our 160cm Faux Areca Palm (Dypsis lutescens) captures all of that, permanently.

Multiple slender trunks rise together from the base — just as they do in nature — each topped with finely detailed, feathered fronds that layer beautifully and catch light in a way that feels genuinely alive. The golden-green tones shift with the room's light, giving it a warmth and vitality that reads convincingly real from the moment it settles into its corner.

At 160cm it's the ideal height to soften a room without dominating it. Tuck it into a corner, use a pair to frame a doorway, or let it stand alone as the easy, breezy focal point your space has been asking for. No humidity requirements, no brown tips, no leaf drop when you travel. Just permanent tropical ease.

Why you'll love it
🌴

Multi-trunk natural form

Multiple slender golden-green canes rise from a shared base — exactly as the real Butterfly Palm grows in nature.

🍃

Feathered arching fronds

Finely detailed, layered fronds that arch naturally and catch light beautifully — airy and full in equal measure.

🏠

Versatile 160cm height

Perfectly proportioned for living rooms, bedrooms, offices, cafes and hospitality spaces with standard ceiling heights.

Zero maintenance

No watering, no humidity, no sunlight required. Lush tropical style with absolutely zero ongoing effort.

Styling tip — The Areca's open, feathered fronds need a little space to breathe — avoid boxing it in too tightly. It works beautifully in a corner beside a sofa or armchair, where the fronds can arc naturally into the room. For a resort-inspired look, use a large woven rattan or natural seagrass basket as the outer pot — the texture plays perfectly against the golden-green fronds. A pair framing a hallway or doorway creates an effortlessly tropical entry. Pot diameter of 28–34cm works well to keep proportions balanced.
Care Instructions

Dusting
Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For delicate areas, use a fine-bristle brush to remove dust from between leaves and intricate details.

Cleaning
For light marks, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe gently. Avoid excessive moisture or soaking.

Preservation
Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight to maintain colour vibrancy. Avoid exposure to heat sources, open flames, and extreme temperatures.

Important
Do not use water, soap, cleaning agents, or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the material and finish.

Faux Areca Palm Tree 160CM

Three things we never compromise on

🌿

Realism above all

We handle every piece before it makes it to our site. If it looks fake to us in person, it doesn't go up. We test textures, colours and how pieces hold up in real Australian homes — not just studio lighting.

💛

Genuinely personal service

When you reach out, a real person reads it and writes back. We know what it's like to order something online and feel like a ticket number. That's not how we operate — and never will be.

📦

Delivery you can trust

We pack everything carefully ourselves. No crumpled leaves or snapped branches on arrival. We ship Australia-wide and aim to get your order to your door as quickly as possible, every time.
