Published Date: June 7, 2024

As the summer season begins to wind down, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for the freedom and tranquility it brings. But what if we could bring those sea breezes and wild winds home with us? With a tropical interior design, you can. There is no need to yearn for the beach experience in Boracay, Siargao, or Palawan. Recreate those soothing summer vibes right in your own home. Listen to Pantropiko and enjoy the airy summer all year round with this interior inspiration.

WHAT IT IS: Tropical Interior Design has long existed and evolved into a modern design. However, in history, this interior design originated in the 1800s with the British Colonial Style, where travelers decorated their homes with exotic trinkets and tropical pieces they got from crusades and adventures.

Though it has similar counterparts in modern times, the tropical style's central motifs focus on all-natural materials, lush greenery, and vibrant hues. When approaching this style for your home, keep it effortless, as if an island has grown into your four walls. It is known to be nature-inspired, airy, breezy, and laid-back.

TROPICAL INTERIOR DESIGN COLOR PALETTE

Opt for a soothing palette inspired by nature's hues. Think soft greens, tranquil pinks, sandy neutrals, and pops of vibrant colors reminiscent of tropical flowers and sunsets.

KEY ELEMENTS

Opt for a soothing palette inspired by nature's hues. Think soft greens, tranquil pinks, sandy neutrals, and pops of vibrant colors reminiscent of tropical flowers and sunsets.

1 . NATURAL MATERIALS
To achieve a tropical ambiance, opt for natural materials like rattan, bamboo, and wicker to successfully evoke the feeling of being in a beachside bungalow. For fabrics, choose light and breezy fabrics like linen and cotton, which elevate the airy vibe of your space. Incorporating pieces that mimic the outside world is the easiest recipe to stir up the tropics.

2 . BOTANICALS
Introduce plants to your interior to give off an authentic tropical look. Botanicals go hand in hand with tropical design since they are affordable and readily available ways to add dimension to your space and a laid-back atmosphere. Additionally, plants add a splash of color and purify the air without overpowering the rest of the design.

3 . ART AND DECORATIONS
Your theme will only be complete with the ideal tropical art decor. Get art pieces that feature botanical paintings, animals, and eclectic designs. You can also include statement pieces that burst with colors or stone-like carved decor to evoke the tropical vibe. Bowls, glasses, or clay pots are a great option, too, and they are classic and easy to get.

4 . NATURAL LIGHT
The tropics are all about sunlight and wind in your hair. Big windows can bring natural light in, or delicate and floaty curtains can recreate the ocean breeze in your home. Curtains soften the light and stylishly provide privacy in the daytime.

5 . AMBIENCE
The tropical season is all about basking in the sun, but you can continue to live cool and breezy in the evening with ambient lighting. Choose lighting made from wood and cotton for a soft glow when the sun goes down. Aside from this, a yellow light creates a welcoming atmosphere and reduces eye fatigue when working.

Now that you are familiar with tropical interior style and its essential elements, get inspiration from these setups to get started in your tropical paradise at home.

TROPICAL LIVING ROOM

Introduce coastal elegance with pieces that exude tranquility while being sustainable and eco-friendly, like Heim's center table, crafted from glass and PP rattan. Then, pair them with Kessel's Avery Basket for a clutter-free, beach-inspired space.

Sink into beachside comfort with Heim's Montana fabric sofa, featuring Belfast linen and wood legs for ultimate relaxation. Enrich the island vibe with tufted cushions in earthy tones. To complete the look, match it with the Ezweep Mustard Carpet Rug, boasting a woven cotton finish reminiscent of sandy shores, to perfectly complement your furniture.

Next, opt for furniture crafted from natural materials, such as the Freya side table and Ermita lounge chair, to infuse warmth and authenticity into your space. Then, enhance your room with organization and style with space-saving rattan baskets.

Plants are a crucial element to your tropical interior. Whether you prefer natural or artificial plants, integrate them seamlessly into your décor for a lively atmosphere. Framed wall art featuring plants and uplifting quotes can boost your interior and your mood.
