Romantic Country Rooms #4

Aren't these rooms lovely also? Girls, look at some of the ideas in these room, adapt them to your homes and run with it.

Pair a red and white check chair/sofa or cloth with a kilim rug and some old pottery found at a garage sale. Do NOT be afraid to mix several patterns in a room. I think it's dramatic when done.

Or look around your house or your mother's or grandmother's house for some old furbelows (trims) and bibelots to showcase in your homes. Showcase them magnificently!

Add drama with a bold color somewhere in a room.

Or find what you might consider an ugly oddity and showcase it. I'll bet you it will grow on you. That has truly happened to me.

While I absolutely love pink and most colors associated with reds, I'm not averse to other colors, especially yellow. Yellow is a cheery color when you have a dark house. Nuuuuu, I'm not changing my walls from pink to yellow, but I truly LOVE pink and bright yellow together. I guess the owner of this room does too because she pairs those bright yellow walls with a red/pinkish sofa on the left.

Tropical Home Decor of Decoration Ideas

Tropical home decor is the easiest way to feel the cool ambience of the islands around you. When one thinks of tropical interior decorations, one relates to sand, leisurely vacations and the tranquility of the Caribbean and Hawaiian islands. As you start conceptualizing the tropical interiors for your home, close your eyes and imagine the blue ocean and green vegetation around you. And what can be a better way to relax than to simply enjoy the feel of vacation right from your home.
Color Combination In Tropical Interiors
Colors play a very important role in tropical decor. The islands generally have vibrant and bright colors mostly in floral patterns. In home interiors one can use yellows, reds and oranges with some whites and greens in the background. One can also add banana trees, colorful animal and bird prints and motifs to complete the tropical look.
The most popular colors in tropical home decor are earthy tan, ivory, beige, camel, blues and greens. Also popular are light golden and subtle shades highlighted with black or deep brown.

Furniture for Home Interiors
Tropical decor requires colorful floral patterns. So add some vibrant cushions to your furnishings. If you are selecting furniture for exteriors then teak furniture is a good option. Beachwood is extensively used in tropical decorations. If you want to go for a natural look then go for bamboo or rattans. These furniture materials are very durable and comfortable as well.
Tropical Decorations for Homes
When selecting decorations for homes bright flowers play a major role. Orchids and red Protea are the favorite. To complete the tropical feeel add some artificial palm trees in the corner. You can of course go for the real ones if the climate and space permits. Other than palms one can also opt for larger plants with lights in the corner to have a tropical feel.
Water is a key element in tropical home decorations so how about having some rock or bamboo fountains. One can add some foliage around the fountain to give the feel of a hidden fountain. The soothing sound of water is going to add to the serene ambience of the rooms. The next important element is the windows so give it a personalized style as well. Bamboo blinds, panels from plantation give a breezy and warm look.

Motifs and Decorative Pieces
Handicrafts are an important part of the tropical decorations. Coral and shell handicrafts are some must have items in your tropical decor. Don’t give your home a cluttered look and instead of going for small pieces, select larger decorative pieces. Jungle look is also very popular. Try out different animal hides and hang them on the wall to create an unusual look.
The fabrics chosen for a tropical home decor are never stiff and hard. On the contrary they are soft and supple. Ottomans, pillows and other accessories normally will have leafy or jungle designs.
Materials for Tropical Decorations
Materials and fabrics need to be carefully selected as well. Go for those baskets, rattan, wicker chairs and wall coverings. Stone tableware looks great with tropical decorations. Have strong and sturdy glassware to complement the tropical look.

Unveiling the Living Room Now

Now, you know I can't stop once I'm on a roll, right? Okay then, once I put the covers on I noticed that there was a bit too much white in the room in that area. I love white and love those curtains, but it needed some color behind that sofa. I then put up the curtains I talked about here. I like it much better and will even more once I can get that Solartube in the ceiling. (I'm saving for it!) But before I show you the big photos of the sofa I thought I'd show you the fabric, texture and makeup of the slipcover up close.

So here is the room now. The curtains have a color in them that makes the red Thomasville chair go with it even if the photo looks odd. Colors aren't exactly true on monitors as much as in person.

And I also put this pillow that I bought at Ethan Allen 15 years ago back on the sofa. I like a mixture of pillows on my sofa and don't think it's too formal to put on there. Even if it is formal, I like it and that's what matters. :-)
