Get inspired to refresh your rooms with our ideas for decorating with tropical colors, below.
Pretty Palm Fronds
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.
Juicy Papaya
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 juicy papaya, into your space with small accents. Try a footstool, throw pillow, or side table.
Puckery Lime
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.
Sea-Spray Blue
Escape to the sea by picking out your favorite shade of blue. Look for pieces like this patterned chair, rug, and pillow set that have character. Subtle textures and patterns add movement to a blue piece, creating the illusion of gentle waves.
Hot Hibiscus
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 orange-pink wallpaper. Too much color can be overwhelming, though, so stick to a smaller space like a powder room.
Sunshine Yellow
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 outdoor effect.
Sea-Glass Green
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. Make it really stand out with neutral surroundings, like this room's cabinets and countertops.
Playful Pineapple
Juicy pineapple isn't just for pina coladas. Try a deep shade of yellow in any space that needs a little pop of color. Bonus points if you try the trend with a pineapple print wallpaper.
Deep Navy
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.
