Tropical Sweetness

Summer is finally here and we have been spoilt with the wonderful weather we have been enjoying over the last few weeks. If you are anything like me you will want to keep that summertime feeling as long as possible and what better way to do so than with a hint of TROPICAL SWEETNESS in your home interior. Tropical patterns and prints are teamed with mouth watering colour schemes and textiles that are sure to create a fresh and eye-catching style in any room of the home.

Tropical patterns in interior design often put people off as they are seen as too bold or cheesy but when used in the right way they can add a pop of stylish colour and print to even the plainest of interior spaces. A palm or banana leaf print wallpaper or cushions can be used alongside a peach, white and watermelon colour palette to create a stylish finish within your bedroom, dining room or living room area. For a more feminine touch then use some bold orchid patterned wallpaper and co-ordinate with floral rugs, and upholstery that can be paired with pastel coloured walls, carpet and accessories for a delicate yet summery finish. Ice cream and bubblegum colour palettes will create a fresh and retro tropical design that is perfect for injecting some fun and freshness into any interior space.

Select a range of accessories that showcase a tropical summertime feel and add colour and pattern to your chosen room. If you love an elegant interior design then opt for rose gold or pastel coloured accessories such as pineapple shaped lamp bases, candle holders and vases and team with some parrot and tree frog ornaments that will look great displayed on a large sideboard or display cabinet. If you wish not to clash with any bold wallpapers or cushions, rugs and bedding then opt for simple crisp white accessories or natural rattan or acacia accessories that will create a laid backed and relaxed Caribbean ambiance. Select ceiling lights and lamp shades that feature bold orchid patterns and pastel and bold colour palettes that will create a focal point within your chosen room.

Crisp white furniture looks great in any bold or ice cream coloured interior and will add a refreshing feel in any living room, dining room or bedroom. Accent with natural wood or funky parrot shaped handles for an added twist of fun. For a more natural finish against the bright and bold backdrop then why not include some rattan, walnut or acacia furniture that will bring a sense of relaxation and nature into your chosen room. If you wish to add even more colour to your room (because why not!) then opt for some pastel painted furniture in your room and accentuate with some bold patterned mosaics or decoupage featuring florals, leaves or animal print,
