Wallpapers and paint options that win
- Most tropical interior designs have used actual plant or bold wallpapers with patterns reminiscent of the sea.
- These also go well as hanging carpets and drapes that can be seen on low rise porches and walkways in such tropical destinations.
- Start by using large-leaf plants, oversized banana leaves, fronds or birds.
Proper Lighting
- Light in tropical styling is an important thing to deal with.
- As discussed, use neutral and nature-oriented colors with smooth textures to support light dispersion.
- Some homes even have balconies with low positioned lights and pendant lights (made from bamboo, rattan or abaca).
- Be sure to use positive themes when thinking about creating artificial light setups such as animals, parasols or common tropical fruits like pineapples.
- To create a dreamy tropical paradise, opt for beautiful fairy or twinkle lights. To add a soft glow to the porch.
- When it comes to lighting you can experiment with hanging lanterns, tiki torch lights and even straw lights.

No Windowing Woes
- If you’ve ever spent time on a boardwalk, you probably yearn for spaces that don’t have windows or doors since you tend to enjoy the great outdoors.
- Authentic tropical interior design should have uncluttered porches that are wide with wooden blinds instead of curtains.
- Take note that the materials used should be as natural as they can be.
- For the fabric covers surrounding the porch, choose light and pastel tones that make you feel alive and calm.
Floors and Ceilings
- Carpets are a big no for floors and should be avoided on porches as well.
- Instead use colored laminated floors, possibly ceramic types that resemble sandy beaches or the sea surface.
- Ceilings and walls can have pastel shades and can include naturally textured wallpapers.
- Decorate the walls with colorful natural artefacts that are rich in colors of blue, green and golden yellow.

Getting All the Accessories Together
- Add some tribal items like tiki totems and masks, small indoor fountains or even aloha designs.
- Have objects like tropical fruits- coconut, pineapple, tropical flowers on the table for a relaxing atmosphere.
- Putting ornaments and faux animal items- like faux ivory, tusks and fake fish busts can bring a whole new level of reality to your home.
- Throw some animal prints for the fabrics, pillows and seats.
Porch Furnishing
- There are two ways to go with this. Use either darker items such as wood and mahogany or lighter furnishings like warm iron.
- These materials produce a great welcoming vibe to any home and can make the place feel cooler yet comfortably warm. Be warned though, wood usually is a breeding ground for pests and should be maintained often.

Small Tropical House Interior Design
- Add a mini pool or jacuzzi outside that serves as a great backdrop to the porch.
- Populate the walls with natural textures and earthly designs.
- Paint the walls in plant themes like light yellow, green and white.
- Maintain a garden that should be visible from the living room. If space can’t support one, consider creating a small nursery of flowers. Create a mini forest if you will. The greener it is, the more cooling effect it can have.
- Create as much open space as possible to explore through and let the colors explode on before your eyes.
It’s important to remember that a person’s best perspective of the tropical destination differs but the objective remains clear- to create a space that is tranquil and alive. Create a nook that reflects your personality and sense of style, giving you most comfort, to make sure your days at home are pleasant and enjoyable.
