There is something fresh and uplifting about a tropical style of interior design and this year classic bold and vivid coloured tropical colours have been exchanged for softer more dusky hues that create a stylish SOFT TROPICAL interior design. The mix of subtle colour palettes and elegant tropical prints and patterns will create a perfect interior look for the upcoming summer months.
To achieve this, look the use a selection of soft white, pastel pink and blue and display these alongside dusky peach, mint and lemon to create a zesty yet subtle look within your home interior. Include a statement wallpaper on a main feature wall, alcove or chimney breast that features some elegant palm or banana leaf patterns or for a more fun and quirky design, select some cocktail glass, flamingo and parrot print designs that are sure to create a focal point within the room. For an even more subtle appearance then your can select some soft beige and taupe coloured paint and partner with a leaf, wave or shell patterned wallpaper that creates a twist of tropical chicness within the home.
Opt for classic tropical prints featuring palm trees, banana leaves and bold orchids in a mix of soft pink, blue and green and use across a selection of co-ordinating cushions and rugs. You can include some natural linen curtains in soft pastel shades and team with elegant cream and beige upholstered seating that will create a bright yet cosy feel within the home. If you love a bit of fun and modern print in your home interior then why not opt for more upbeat designs in pastel flamingo patterns, parrot and cocktail glass designs in soft blush hues that can be accented with rose gold metallic detailing.
Simple white painted furniture designs will create a neutral and elegant finish and can be teamed with rustic rattan furniture in light and smoky finishes that will create a relaxed Caribbean style elegance within your chosen room. Walnut and oak furniture will also compliment this style of interior design and will create a warm and rich finish that works extremely well in this pastel coloured interior trend. Include an array of accessories such as pastel coloured glasses, plates and ornaments and include some crisp white ceiling lights, lamps and frames that will create a light and open feel within your home. Natural materials such as woven baskets, rattan and carved wooden ornaments will compliment this look and will create a balance of neutral and pastel colour within your chosen room.
