How to Relax With a Tropical Theme

Everybody loves being on vacation. There is no better place than being in a lush, warm tropical environment where your mind is completely free from stress and worries. So why not bring that soothing ambiance into the place you call home. Your home is where you lay down and attempt to relax after a long day of work. If you are able to bring that same calming feeling of being on a tropical island indoors, imagine how much better your overall quality of life will be.

The tropical bedroom style is highly contingent on the furniture you put inside of it. Using bedroom furniture that is built from bamboo is the simplest way to make your room more tropical. One of the best inspirations is translated by Tommy Bahama in their Beach House Collections. Carved bamboo covers each piece giving it that perfect island feel. Another key element when creating a tropical theme is implementing the ideas of palm trees and beaches, which you can bring into your room through fabric and accessories. Add in palm upholstered throw pillows and some coral or starfish accents and it will feel like a true beach house!

Though you are not on the beach enjoying the actual shade of a palm tree, you can still embrace the beauty of the palm design either subtly or lavishly through the selections that you make. Check out the beautiful palm etched trim on the Island Estate West Shore Sofa by Tommy Bahama. It adds a touch of class to any tropical theme without overdoing it.

However, if you’re really looking to be amongst the cooling breeze of palm trees, look into picking a piece that really makes a tropical statement like the Island Estate Agave Wicker Chair. The bold palm inspired fabric paired with the wood and dark wicker contrast make this a true standout piece. The versatility is also appealing for any beach house since this can be an indoor piece or grace your outdoor veranda.

Incorporating a canopy bed in your room is a decision that will immediately add an exotic and calming effect to any room and make you feel like you are away on a tropical island. Usually associated with luxurious five stars hotel stays, complete the look of the canopy by adding white drapery that will sway back and forth throughout the day, just like the breeze of the sea did when you were on vacation.

If you’re looking for a true tropical theme, look to the Tommy Bahama Island Estate West Indies Canopy Bed which includes wicker design accents.

If you’re looking for something that has a greater contrast, try theTommy Bahama Royal Kahala Diamond Head Bed with Adjustable Posts & Canopy. It’s simple, dark colored bed posts accented with white linen coverings will silently exude peacefulness and give you the same relaxing feeling you had in the tropics.
