Set the mood for total relaxation with tropical wallpaper in a vibrant color or pattern. Whether you’re going for trendy, island-contemporary style or you’re trying to channel an elegant colonial look, it’s perfect for making a splash. While you browse for a distinctive new print for your home, consider the following design tips and inspiration.
Pick a Pattern
In general, tropical wallpaper is often characterized by bold patterns and vibrant colors, but you can also find more subtle wallcoverings. Tropical leaf wallpaper is particularly popular, as the various shades of green pair well with leather, wood and most accent colors. Go for a bold plant print in a small bathroom to feel like you’re enveloped by a lush rainforest. Or, take the look in a slightly different direction with trendy, gold pineapple print wallpaper, perfect for creating a contemporary chic look — as are blush pink flamingos or flowers.
Consider Special Features
When it comes to wallcoverings, the options are nearly endless, as you can choose among textured, removable, peel and stick and metallic options, among others. If you’re going for a tropical beach look, textured wallpaper made of natural grasscloth can be a great choice. Peel and stick and removable varieties can save you a lot of time and energy later on, and may make bold decor choices feel less high-stakes. And while it may not seem obvious, a tropical print with a metallic sheen can be perfect for channeling just the right amount of glam. Pair it with gold accents and a shag rug, and you’ll have a very island chic space.
