Home Inspiration – Tropical Paradise

Recently I’ve been making plans to give my house a little revamp. Having lived here 4 years, my inner interior designer is telling me it’s time for some changes. When we bought our house we did a full renovation, totally gutted everything and started from scratch. Most of the rooms were decorating in very neutral colours and I still don’t feel like we’ve made our mark on the place. So over the next few months I’m going to work on each room one at a time and I will definitely be documenting everything on here.

Todays post is inspired by the Debenhams Spring Summer press day that I went to at the end of last year. I love going to press days for interior inspiration. It’s great to see rooms laid out, using all the products from that particular store. I’m going to be doing lots more interior posts and although I won’t be recreating the exactly I will definitely be taking lots of inspiration from the gorgeous curated home looks. I’m breaking the posts up into themes to make it easier!

Tropical: If you’re bored of neutral colours and all things cream and beige, then you can’t go wrong with an exotic tropical look. I love bright colours and rich textures, which are perfect for creating a warm cosy environment. Take inspiration from all over the world with sumptuous deep colours and opulent finishes.

I love the mix of red and blue tones in this gorgeous living room, as well as the inlaid wood furniture. The look is inspired by travel and warm climates. This look is from the Butterfly Home range by Matthew Williamson at Debenhams.

Even if you don’t change the colours of your walls or your furniture, you can add tropical touches with richly embellished textiles and bright home accessories.

This gorgeous bedroom features the beautiful pink and turquoise colour tones which feature in many Matthew Williamson designs. I love the digitally printed bedding combined with the traditional throw. My favourite piece would have to be the palm tree lamp on the bedside table.

Again mix and match cushions really finish the look, I love all the pom pom trims, which could easily be recreated yourself very quickly.

If you don’t feel like updating your decor, the tropical theme also works really well for entertaining. I love the idea of a tropical themed barbecue or garden party.
