Adding tropical flair to a contemporary space
Posted on March 7, 2013 by ModernLineFurniture
You might love your modular furniture and the idea of a contemporary interior design, but this doesn’t mean that you have to completely rule out character from your decorative scheme. The fact of the matter is that the simplicity and minimalism of modern furniture leaves room for splashes of other styles. Whether you’ve always wanted to add a hint of French country design to your space or you’re interested in going urban, there’s plenty of opportunity to do so.
One style you may want to take advantage of is tropical design. This decorative theme comes with its fair share of vivid colors and exotic flair, which can be perfect in any living space of the home. That being said, you don’t want to completely overwhelm the contemporary interior you have going. Here are a couple of ways to add a small amount of tropical flair to your modern spaces without going overboard.
Bring on the plants
Tropical plants are the name of the game if you’re interested in adding a touch of this style to a room. To avoid becoming overwhelming, simply add one or two potted palms to your contemporary interior to achieve your decorating goals. Want something more floral? Think of using orchids instead, which can bring an exotic twist to any area of your home. In the end, you’ll feel like you’re right in the middle of an oasis!
Be whimsical
Coastal Living magazine claims that the key to success when it comes to tropical decorating is allowing yourself to think more freely about your interior. This means instilling a bit of whimsy into your rooms to make them feel more like seaside paradises. Don’t be afraid of using bold prints in bright colors, for instance, to create living spaces that may be seen as an beach resort.
Think tropical colors
One easy way to add a bit of the ocean to your contemporary living space is to incorporate colors from this area. This means decking out your seating and accent decor in hues ranging from sea foam green to sunny yellow. While it may seem like a drastic departure from the neutrals you’re used to seeing in modular furniture, making these minimal changes can be all that’s necessary to create the paradise of your dreams.
Taking a combination of these tips into consideration can revolutionize any living space of your home.
