Summer is coming and a tropical style with lush colors, beautiful greenery and natural elements is perfect for the warmer months. Here we explain 3 easy ways to get this tropical look at home. This airy, bold approach is built around classic neutral and airy spaces, full of strong prints and the classic tropical texture of rattan.
1. Build a classic space with fresh elements
For a minimalist approach, start with white or neutral-toned furniture to reflect natural light. This gives you a solid foundation to build on and keeps the look fresh through the changing seasons.
2. Experiment with rattan Or with other natural textures:straw, seagrass and bamboo are all other popular materials to achieve this look, with warm accents of the outdoors and natural tones. Now that you have a classic space, arrange tropical plants and rattan furniture for color and texture. For example, a set of rattan chairs adds style and sets the mood.
3. Play with color and print Color is also a big part of getting this look just right:embrace bright hues of peach, pink and teal for a space that will radiate summer all year round. These are strong colors, but they can be very effective if used properly – either in smaller items and decor that accentuates the space, or if you choose on a wall, you can use darker furniture. Bold prints of leaves and art prints and wallpaper are also a highlight of this trend. Choose large prints here for the most impact, especially instantly recognizable prints such as banana leaves or palm leaves. Pair a classic oak table or cream sofa with this look for a relaxed look, with natural tones set against the bold patterns. You can also get creative with accessories in gold and brass finishes for an extra style boost.
