Here at The Furniture Market we are saying 'Aloha' to the latest Hawaiian style interior design trend that will create a fun and laid back style within your home.
From funky floral designs to traditional Tiki style ornaments, we take a look at how to to create a fresh and welcoming Hawaiian interior for a relaxed island ambiance.
Hawaiian Print
No Hawaiian interior would be complete without a splash of Hawaiian print. With its vibrant, island colours and bold floral print this eye catching design is sure to create a focal point within your home. This versatile pattern can be used as a wallpaper, upholstery or as a bright and inviting piece of wall art to inject an uplifting summertime ambiance into your interior space.
Surfs Up!
Slip into the island lifestyle with a stylish surfing inspired interior that will create a Hawaiian beach front haven within your home. Contemporary or traditionally decorated surf boards make a great artistic feature wall and reflect the fun and culture of the island community. You can further add to this surfers paradise by adding beach style signs, coastal accessories and cool ocean tones to create a serene and laid back environment with a 'pop' of fun and quirky style.
Aloha Accessories
Tropical Hawaiian print accessories are the perfect way to add a splash of Island style into your current interior decor. Use fabulous Hawaiian print, beach front imagery and palm tree cushions to create a fabulous aesthetic and textural appeal against your sofa, bed or window seat. Vases, bowls and ornaments in a selection of natural materials and coastal colours such as azure, green and orange will create a welcoming appeal in any room of your home.
Lighting
Lighting plays a huge role in any home design scheme and can create a soft and warm ambiance in any interior setting. For a sumptuous and traditional Hawaiian beach hut feel, opt for classic, woven lantern designs made from palm fronds, bamboo and carved wood. These traditional lighting shades cast beautiful patterns and creates a muted interior lighting that reflects the wondrous Hawaiian sunsets and the sunshine ambiance of cosy island living.
Tiki Tiki
For an authentic injection of Hawaiian culture and mythology then Tiki style designs and Polynesian art work will create a warm and traditional ambiance within your interiors. The majority of Tiki style designs are carved from native woods and stone and feature a variety of faces, patterns and designs that are widely seen throughout the Polynesian islands. Totems, sculptures, masks and figurines are a fabulous addition to any wall, sideboard or display cabinet and provide a natural warmth and appeal within your home. This instantly recognisable design can also be featured on furniture items such as tables, headboards and cabinets to create the perfect island style interior.
