The British Virgin Islands- Who wouldn't want to go there? Maybe you can't go today, but you can create a room that evokes the Caribbean right in your own home.
For this stylishly laid-back family room, warm blue water, tropical plants, and the bright sun were my inspiration. Architecturally, use wooden shutters, screen doors and beams to bring British Colonial style right in. Ceiling fans provide circulation of heat in the winter and cool down a room on a warm, summer night. Natural wood furnishings add to the natural outdoor vibe.
Crisp, clean off-whites evoke sail cloth and bright orange accents bring the sun in year-round. All of this is grounded with a cool, green carpet from the CustomWeave Dynamic Patterns Collection. The color reminds me of the inside of a shell while the texture evokes sand on the beach- perfect, don't you think?
Lastly, don't forget green foliage and bright flowers can really finish a room with a tropical vibe. The total effect: a picture-perfect postcard you and your family can really live in.
