Tropical Bathroom
The great thing about a tropical bathroom design concept is
it can be designed in more than one way. A fun, colorful theme might come to
mind first. This look can be achieved without the exaggerated playfulness of
child’s room. Another possibility is tropical chic. This toned down approach
makes any room a haven while incorporating the relaxing and luxurious
characteristics of a tropical getaway. Here’s some advice on both design
concepts to get you started on your latest bathroom
remodel.
Tropical Chic
- Restful colors. Use muted tones like green, deep brown,
neutral ivory, soft yellow, pale gold, beige, and tan. These earth colors will
bring out your room’s tropical roots while accenting comfort and warmth. Offset
the colors with white curtains that gently twirl in the summer breeze.
- Tropical plants. Plants are always invigorating and pleasing to the eye. In a
tropical room, they’re essential. Decorate the corners of the room with leafy
green palms or large-leaf banana plants.
- Textures. There are several textures to choose from to bring out a tropical
theme: bamboo,
wicker, rattan, wood, leather, grasscloth. Consider placing bamboo mats on the
floor, bamboo blinds beneath the curtains, or a wood-framed wall screen made
from thatch paneling.
- Simple accents. A glass tray filled with seashells. A bamboo soap dish. A
single orchid. A single flower etched into white cotton towels. Each of these
details is reminiscent of the tropics, while being refined and minimal in
detail.
Tropical Fun
- Bright, bold colors. There’s nothing muted abut tropical
fish, pink flamingoes, and animal prints. If you associate your tropical
bathroom as fun and colorful, it’s easy to incorporate these designs by using a
printed
shower curtain or incorporating a stenciled pattern into your paint job.
- Tropical plants. The green leafy plants noted above will look great with this
approach as well. Also try placing the more ostentatious tropical flower such
as a bird of paradise, epidendrium, or orchid in your bathroom space.
- Accessories. Even if you keep the rest of the room simple, essential
accessories such as soap dishes, toothbrush holders, and small accents with
tropical themes will quickly enliven the rest of the room.
