Tropical Renaissance – A Fresh Look at Tropical Interiors

You will already be familiar with tropical interiors. However, this season’s take on the tropics adds real luxury and drama.

Create the ultimate home for entertaining this Summer with this vibrant theme. Tropical Renaissance focuses on the interiors of grand estates in tropical isles.

The style takes inspiration from the design of regal homes. Botanical prints, rich colourways and lush foliage make it a maximalist's dream. So, join the Tropical Renaissance and discover more below.

Use Patterns Inspired by Tropical Landscapes

Select designs that feature flora and fauna found within exotic locations.

Trailing botanical designs of playful birds set the tone. These make for perfect curtain fabric too. Why not pair with a delicate butterfly embroidery on a Roman blind? Maintain the theme by using textures such as velvet for upholstery. Pair larger scale prints with small-scale finishes for cohesion. Use ogee-style patterns or geometrics to create contrast against florals. Add in plain fabrics in coordinating colourways to break up larger expanses of designs.

Choose a Palette of Jewel Tones

Bold colours portray the extravagance of tropical interiors.

As a general rule of thumb, go for richer variations of any colourway. Some of our favourites include rich teal, cobalt, and emerald tones. Use hints of ruby red for added drama. Add in unexpected shades such as rust or ochre for a contemporary twist. Keep your palette to no more than three or four shades to prevent rooms from becoming too busy.

Mix and Match Texture for Depth

Natural materials and tactile finishes are central to tropical spaces.

Think of materials you would find in such destinations, using these in your home. Rattan pendants, cane furniture, and jute rugs all work well in living rooms or bedrooms. Use fabrics that contain cotton or linen for a laid-back atmosphere. These are ideal for curtains, creating a breezy feel. Combine with velvet cushions or upholstery for a luxurious twist.

Blur the Distinction Between Your Indoor and Outdoor Spaces

Tropical interiors also urge us to take a biophilic approach to design. This involves forging a connection between nature and your home.

The approach is said to nurture your surroundings and improve your wellbeing. So, start by adding in tall floor plants such as palms, which not only look the part, but invite the benefits of nature inside. Choose smaller potted palms if space is an issue. Alternatively, succulents are space-saving yet effective. Use fabrics featuring foliage and florals seen in vibrant landscapes too.
