Welcome to the Tropics

Do you like any of these tropical inspired rooms?

I like this bedroom. Looks very relaxing. The tropical theme is fairly subtle. No major changes for me. The only thing I would add is a few colorful pillows on the bed.

I like this one too, but it looks staged to me. I doubt most of us would leave a tray with tea set on the floor. I wouldn’t put a plant and breakable jar on suitcases either.

The wooden bed is gorgeous. The plant and chair are nice.

I like this kitchen, dining, & family room area too. I like the warmth of the room. The contrast of the dark woods with the lighter paint & ceiling work for me. I also like the furnishings, textiles, and the greenery.

@wilma Number one looks so refreshing and real.

Number 2 looks like a staged photo for print.

I pretty much agree with all that you said. They both invoke happy, energetic vibes to me. The second one is just so overdone. Kinda like me decorating for Christmas: I keep adding things here and there. Ok at Christmas but not a good overall design strategy!

Love it! It looks very much like the home that we stayed on the Big Island a few years back. It was absolutely heaven on earth. That traditional Hawaiian elegance is for me! I guess my very happy memories of the islands certainly add to my fondness for this style. .

I like all of them. The only things I would replace are the sisal rugs in the two bedrooms. They really aren't comfortable for bare feet in a bedroom. But these are designs that are nice to visit but I would chose different ones. Even in the tropics I would go modern with oriental rugs.

If I lived in the tropics yes.

I like the kitchen, dining and living rooms the best. there is warmth throughout and overall looks comfortable and put together. The bedrooms are OK but both need some changes.
