Design Around The World: Hawaii
This is the first ideabook of the Design Around The World series. I am excited about the design journey we'll embark on and hope all of you enjoy every bit as we discover different decorating styles from the world's most inspiring places.
Our first destination? The islands of eternal beauty: Hawaii. With an all-year-round balmy sunshine, brilliant sunsets and beautiful beaches, Hawaii has the natural power to inspire the dullest of imaginations. The spirit of the islands is relaxing and fresh, but most of all strong and empowering.
Let’s take a look at these beautiful spaces and find out what makes Hawaiian décor so extraordinary.

This is the epitome of the island life. Jaw-dropping views, a spectacular infinity pool, and colorful outdoor furniture to match the spectacle.

This has the right touch of the exotic. Dark woods and rich colors are focus points here and bring the Hawaiian style to life.

| Nothing makes a house more tropical than palm trees and a pool. Mix that with a striking ocean view and you have your little piece of paradise. |

We've reviewed this bathroom before. Its tropical feel is evident because of the lush vegetation and creamy palette that imitates Hawaii's grace.
Rattan pieces are the quintessential elements in tropical décor, especially Hawaiian. Its natural feel merges the outdoors with the indoors.

A Hawaiian-inspired bathroom is simple to create. Here, dark woods, exotic palm and rustic vanity add up to portray a Hawaiian aesthetic.

| This is a modern take on the tropical theme. I find it fascinating and exciting to blend modern elements such as the concrete bath with more traditional ones like the wooden vanity. |

Gorgeous! I love the tree sculpture and the thick bamboo furniture combined with the stone fireplace. Very rustic, very tropical, very Hawaii!
