With the majority of people spending most of their time indoors, it’s no wonder they often daydream of being on a remote exotic island like Fiji, Thailand, Samoa, Tonga, or Mauritius. This is because being surrounded by dense vegetation, bright flowers, sparkling sand, crystal clear waters and soothing ocean sounds leads to peace, calmness, and tranquility.
Tropical Design & Styling Guide
Welcome to the tropics! With our guide, you can transform any part of your home, indoors or out (or both!) into your own personalized tropical escape! We are all about recreating those life-changing tropical environments and experiences at home for those who have either visited amazingly beautiful tropical resorts and never wanted to come home or those who dream of going to places like the South Pacific or Bali but never do!
We have pulled together a lot of ideas about how to get inspired and then even more ideas about where to start and what to do so you can transform any space from a small corner of a room to your entire home into a true, tropical retreat.
So having said that, fix yourself your favorite beverage, grab a pen and a notepad, and then breathe, relax, and imagine. Let’s get busy creating!

Are you captivated by the tropical décor reminiscent of gorgeous islands in the South Pacific, Hawaii, or the Caribbean? Are you dreaming of turning your own living room into a tropical paradise but not sure how to accomplish the desired look?
Dreaming of a tropical oasis with lush greenery, large foliage and paradise blooms in flamboyant colors evokes a genuine sense of serenity and relaxation. The reason why it soothes both your mind and body is because envisioning exotic paradise helps you get away from everyday stress and busy lifestyle.
We truly believe that most people would love to have a tranquil getaway space at home, a soothing and relaxing place to simply unwind. As our vision statement says, we want to bring the authentic beauty of the tropics to people who dream of getting away from the daily grind.
In our last section, we explored many of the different tropical looks out there. From tiki to casual beachy to British Colonial and even to Asian exotic, it’s all there for you to use your imagination to create that awesome and wonderful tropical escape at home.
Awesome and amazing accents are a must because they do two things: they not only complete a room but they bring it to life in a way that draws you into the whole experience of the space, which hopefully is your tropical escape! It doesn’t matter how nice or new your foundational pieces are (sofa, coffee table, dining room table, bedroom furniture).
