I simply love going to the sea. The fresh breeze, the cool sand, those swaying palm trees make me relax and rejuvenate in a way that no other thing or location can. That is why, when I decided to do interiors of my house, the first thing that came to my mind was to go in for a tropical style interior design. Tropical interiors, if done appropriately, create the same scenery and arouse the same feelings in a person that only a seaside can. So, if you too are a sea lover and are looking for some creative, yet modern tropical interior design ideas, here are a few which you will simply love.

In a tropical house, furniture which is woven looks very good. Wicker furniture or bamboo furniture are the ideal choices. If you like solid wood furniture, you can go in for walnut or teak furniture. Care should be taken that the furniture is not modern looking, instead, go for a conservative, heavy weight kind of look. As for the flooring of the house, go for hardwood flooring and avoid putting any kind of rugs or carpets on the floor.Color Scheme
While choosing the color of the fabrics or the walls, stick to colors which are close to nature, such as green, blue and white. Beige and light brown, which remind one of the sand, gel really well with tropical interiors, especially if used for painting the walls. If you like bright colors, then to spice up tropical decorating, you can use hues of such colors which remind you of green vegetation and exotic tropical flowers. Highlights of orange, yellow, violet or pink can enliven the tropical interiors.
Upholstery
When going in for tropical interior design ideas, use of window curtains is a big no. Instead, use roll up blinds made of bamboo. Hardwood shutters and wooden blinds are some other options which you can use in place of curtains.These will give the windows a clutter free and simple look, which is most suitable for serene tropical interiors. As far as cushion covers, bed covers and other fabrics in the house are concerned, go for animal prints or prints which have bold flowers and green vegetation on them.
Accessories
Accessories are perhaps the most essential part of giving your house a tropical feel. An accessory without which a tropical interior design will be incomplete is plants. Make use of as many plants as you can and place them in different corners of your house. Plants with tropical flowers will look extremely beautiful in a tropical house.
While choosing wall hangings or pictures, look for the ones which have flowers, trees, a stream of water or animals on them; basically all things that remind you of nature. Shells and corals kept in earthen pitchers also look really cool and chick in a tropical home. When choosing accessories for your tropical home, remember not to go overboard, as subtlety is the key to get a sophisticated tropical look.
