Color it up!
When you pick the color theme for your home, just close your eyes and think of the colors that you would commonly see at the beach. The aqua blue of the sea, sunny yellow, a nice palm green and of course, the warm shades of the sand would be your first choice. In addition, any citrus color like orange works really well on accessories to create a refreshing interior design. You can even use contrasting shades or balancing colors like white in the decorative accents to add depth and brightness to the look of your home.
Natural Furnishing
While you are furnishing a tropical theme, you need to give it a relaxing quality. Also, furnishings should also be natural and earthy. For your living room, using furniture made of natural woods like wicker and teamed up with bright upholstery adds a lot of character. Using teak or even carved bamboo lend a very natural, tropical look to the interiors. To bring the essence of the seaside to your home, you can even consider adding sea grass elements to your furniture. While your basic furniture should remain as simple and earthy as possible, you can add color in the accessories.
Make it Breezy
The cool sea breeze is the best thing about a beach. So, how could you miss that out in your beautiful tropical home? Adding large windows can really help create cross ventilation to make your home nice and breezy. Using sea grass shades or bamboo shutters help you block out the sun and give you a little bit of privacy. Besides, they are also quite stylish and add a nice personality to your space. Using tropical themed drapes that feature large flowers and bright colors are also great to avoid any type of monotony.
Adding value
When you are redoing or creating a space, the decorative accents are the key to giving a strong definition to your space. It does not happen overnight, but having a theme in mind will help you pick out the right accessories for your house designs. In a tropical set up, you can include things like ferns and bamboo. You can try to incorporate sea shells in the form of lamp shades or tray fillers to bring the essence of the sea. If you have the space, why not include a little fountain to so that the refreshing and soothing sound of water reverberates in your space. Adding value to your space is totally your call so that you can create a space that defines your style.
