Tropical Style Design

Surrounding yourself with a tropical interior design scheme is one way to indulge your taste for exotic lands.  A tropical interior design scheme can be developed through the purposeful mix of elements.

One way to develop a tropical scheme is to think about what it is that you would expect to experience in a tropical location.  Sand… beautiful ocean views…..lush foliage? Typically the base theme is soft neutral colors, with touches of accent color.

Texture and wood play a huge role in a tropical interior design scheme.  Woven elements like rattan and wicker furniture work great.  Teak and bamboo features lend a very tropical vibe as well.  As an alternative to painted walls, consider grasscloth wallpaper for an exotic, textural feel.  It is important to stick with natural textures and elements for a more authentic tropical look.
