Back to nature
At the heart of any tropical design style is a heavy reliance on natural materials and colours to set a tone that will invoke a feeling of being in a natural environment.
The essence of tropical chic is to keep consistency for a more
comfortable feeling rather then jarring the senses in an
overwhelming pattern of jungle prints and clashing styles.
Furniture:
Most wooden pieces and flooring will work with the
tropical chic look aswell as comfortable natural fibre resort
furniture.
Comfortable upholstered furniture is a must in a tropical
room.
Natural Fibre lounges and daybeds - Abaca, banana leaf or
rattan.
Accent pieces in wicker, bamboo, iron, and rattan will also fit well with the look.
Wood furniture pieces and wood flooring fit well into this look. Light woods can be used but add more weight to the room by mixing in some dark tables or lamps.
Fabric:
Fabrics should be soft and lush. Pillows, ottomans, and chairs might be done in jungle prints, flora or leaf designs.
Accessories and details:
Tribal carvings and statement pieces.
Long horizontal lines underscore a casual look and add to a restful mood, while taller elements such as plants, screens, or artwork add a grand scale.
