Decorate Your Home with a Touch of the Tropics

April 25, 2011 by Dan

If you’re looking for a fast and easy way to add sunny warmth to your decorating scheme, try a touch of the tropics. Tropical decorating themes are quite popular, especially during the warmer months. However, once you discover how warm and comfortable a tropical theme can make your home seem, you might just decide to keep it year-round. If you’d like to add a tropical touch to your home’s decorating scheme, here are some easy ways to get started.

Focus on Wall Art

If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to transform the look of any room, wall art is usually one of the best choices. Wall art is available in a wide variety of styles, with something available to fit every decorating budget. Whether you are looking for something casual and fun, or something a bit more formal or exotic, you’re sure to find the perfect piece of wall art to enhance the desired effect.

There are plenty of options from which to choose when selecting wall art. For example, if you want to add a tropical look to your family room or indoor patio room, try using one or more tropical wall hangings. Whether you prefer prints, photographs or realistic prints, or a more abstract approach, you’ll find lots of options. For example, a piece of tropical-themed metal wall art could be the perfect choice, adding a tropical and yet contemporary look to your indoor sun room. Or, hang an oversized print featuring a beautiful beach scene on one of the walls.

When using wall art to decorate a room, try choosing a variety of different forms. For example, create an interesting grouping by combining a tropical print with a hanging wall vase. To create a nice coordinated appearance, look for ways to tie the two pieces more closely together. For example, if your framed print or photograph features beautiful tropical flowers, create an arrangement of the same kind of flowers in your wall vase. By using this technique, you’ll add a designer look to your rooms.

Tropical Fabrics and Accessories

The fabrics and accessories you choose for the room can definitely add to the overall look. For example, lounge chairs covered in a tropical floral print can add a nice touch to your indoor patio room. Decorating accents made from materials that are native to the tropics can also add a nice touch. Try using bamboo roll-up blinds on the windows, or a beautiful bamboo area rug on the floor. If the room being decorated is warm and sunny, you might also want to add a few native tropical plants. Carved wood pieces or art created from coconut shells can also add a fun and realistic touch. Authentic pieces of tropical tribal art can add to the overall beauty of the room. Or, simply display a few beautiful sea shells on shelves or tables to add a natural look. Once your room is decorated in a tropical motif, you might just find that it will become your favorite room.
