Tropical Colors
Use cool color tones to create the calm retreat vibe you're aiming for.
- Incorporate aqua blue to represent the ocean water.
- Utilize shades of green that appear in tropical foliage.
- Use crisp white as a neutral for a sleek, upscale resort vibe.
- Bring in warm tones to contrast against the coolness with teak or natural woods.
Tropical Textures + Textiles
Utilize different textures and prints throughout furniture and accessories to add depth and interest to your outdoor living space.
- Select wicker and rattan furniture-whether a chaise lounge, love seat or dining set seating.
- Layer in printed textiles, such as pillows or sun umbrellas to accent to classic white furniture cushions. Stripes combined with tropical foliage patterns are a stunning visual combination.
- Liven things up with natural texture from tropical plants to fill corners and bring cohesiveness to the design. Opt for plants with interesting foliage like banana tree, palms, or monstera. A sleek white pot allows the dramatic foliage to stand out.
