Decorate with Bold Tropical Colors

Infuse a space with different shades of green, similar to the way palm tree fronds sport both light and dark hues. This living room stars a green coffee table, then accents with a green lamp and blue-and-green patterned furniture. The white wainscoting helps to balance the intense colors.

When you're working with a bright color—like this eye-catching orange—a little bit goes a long way. Infuse this color, reminiscent of a juicy papaya, into your space with small accents. Try a footstool, throw pillow, or side table. 

Bathroom colors do not have to be blah. This seaside look is modern and fun but still super functional. Every bathroom needs a sink, so opt for a sunny lime green one to complement shades of blue, white, and tan.

Tips for Adding Color with Paint

Escape to the sea by picking out your favorite shade of blue. Look for pieces that have character like this patterned chair, rug, and pillow set. Subtle textures and patterns add movement to a blue piece, creating the illusion of gentle waves. 

Choose colors at the purest, clearest end of the spectrum with no dulling gray or brown undertones. Impact comes from bold hues and saturation, such as this dazzling shade inspired by a Hibiscus flower. Channel the beautiful bloom with hot, orangey-pink wallpaper. Too much color can be overwhelming, though, so stick to a smaller space like a powder room.

A bright coat of yellow paint makes it look as if the sun is shining year-round. This works well in a sunroom, breezeway, or any room that gets a lot of light. Pair the sunny walls with wicker accents and fresh plants for an out-of-doors effect. 

Remember hunting for sea glass on the beach as a kid? Make those memories permanent with a beautiful, sea-green glass tile backsplash in your kitchen or bathroom. 

Juicy pineapple isn't just for pina coladas. Try a deep yellow hue in any space that needs a little pop of color. Bonus points if you try the trend with a pineapple print wallpaper. 

Take a shortcut to tropical by introducing a statement piece. Consider a tropical wall color, such as the elegant navy in this room. Then infuse juicy hues with a rug, upholstery fabrics, or a piece of wall art. This room combines several tropical shades for a wow-worthy look.
