It’s easy to bring a tropical style into your home with Kovi’s tropical fabric styles, featuring lush tropical plant patterns or images reminiscent of fun beach days.
If you’d like more of the beach life in your home, below are some tips for applying tropical fabric to your whole home.
Choose Calming Beach Tones
When looking at color pallets, err on the side of bright ocean blues, sandy colors, seashell whites, or bright palm tree greens.
Remember the Ocean Items
The easiest way to bring a tropical theme into your home is to remember the seashells, sand dollars, art depicting beaches, model ships, driftwood, and glass bottles filled with sand. Don’t be afraid to look for uncommon items, like this crab trap that works as an end table. Leafy, tropical-looking houseplants like Alocasia or Cat Palm also add a beach feel.
Keep Views in Mind
If you live near an ocean, lake, or river, remember to keep the windows open to the view if you can. Nothing adds to a tropical feel like water scenes. Another option might be to install a tropical-styled pond right outside a major window.
Consider Distressed Wood
When looking at wooden items, some can be distressed for a weatherworn, seafaring look.
