Don’t you just love the sun and the sand? Or the trees and the rain? Well, if you can bring the nice tropics into your bedroom, you can save yourself the hassle of going there! Sure makes a good bedroom decorating idea! No need to mention that you can enjoy this ambiance all year long! To each one his own creativity, but here are some tropical bedroom(s) ideas to get you started.
Tropical Bedroom Decorating Ideas
What is the first thing that comes to your mind when I say ‘tropics’? It is either the dense rainforests or the beaches. Fair enough as they both lie in the tropics. So there are two basic tropical bedroom design ideas so let me take them one by one.
Beach Themed Tropical Bedroom Ideas
Well, if you enjoy the nice laid back ambiance that the beaches provide, why not decorate your bedroom so? Just think of all the colors you see on the beaches. You could go wild while painting the bedrooms, using warm, light colors like sea blue, light green or even yellow. You could also try a sea-waves-like texture on the walls. Let the paint make your room look sunny and casual. Painting it in cream colors will make it look too royal. What you need is a laid-back, cool looking color.
Murals depicting the beaches are a very good tropical bedroom design idea too. For the bedroom furniture, you could get beautiful sea-blue colored bedsheets and pillow-cases. Also, you could have a mud or sand colored headboard on the beds. Keep the furniture a little scattered and color it in mahogany shades. You can have that too in a woody texture.
Carpets would generally not suit such a bedroom and would be disastrous to maintain. One eye-popping idea is to have plastic pen-stands or light stands made in coconut design! Fancy that! The bedroom will have to be brightly lit as well. Another secret to making a good beach-like tropical bedroom is to have largish windows and good ventilation. This kind of bedroom is ideal if you’re living a bit away from the hustle-bustle of the town and it is pretty windy. It’ll surely get the beaches home!
Forest Themed Tropical Bedroom Ideas
The other among the tropical bedroom designs is the forest themed tropical bedroom idea. The good things is, you can do this one even if you have an apartment in downtown New York! And if you are crazy about the evergreen forests and their woody environs, forest themed tropical bedroom ideas are just for you. The nice darkish looking environment will spice up your sex life too!
I’ll start with the walls again. You can paint them in a shade of really dark green. Try texturing them again. Murals will work here too. Wallpapers are a cheaper option, but getting them in the exact color might be a wee-bit difficult. You could make the bed and furniture in dark brown wood color with white and green bedsheets and pillowcases. You could put in one of those extra thick mattresses. A blanket in animal patterns such as zebra would be really wild!
One of the things for those with the luxury of a big budget, you could use one of those hanging fountains. That will even get the sound of a tropical forest in your bedroom! You could also accessorize the bedroom with a few indoor plants. Never keep too many plants in the bedroom as they let out carbon dioxide at night. Just keep a couple of exotic looking ones like a small Chinese bamboo or something. You could also keep a plastic replica if you get one that looks convincing enough. You could also keep some wild flowers, but make sure you change them regularly, otherwise they’ll start stinking and dampen a perfect ambiance.
Try installing prefinished hardwood floors in a slightly different shade of dark brown. The lighting here should be dark to create a dramatic contrast. Use wood textured light stands. Both white lights and bulbs can work well with this kind of room.
So this was about tropical bedroom ideas. Making them may be a bit tough as getting the right combination of furniture etc might be a bit hard. But when it falls into place, it is going to look worth all the time and effort you’ve put in!
