Warm color sceme

The shades of yellow, green and orange comprise the tropical color scheme in this lounge room. Wooden hues when accentuated with these colors give a feeling of warmth and liveliness. A mustard couch accessorized with purple and deep pink cushions with a backdrop of beige walls looks very pleasing to the eye and can brighten the room to quite an extent. Lime green and lemon yellow colors in curtains work very well against off white walls. The idea is to keep the walls neutral and add colors to the furnishing. This gives a lot of flexibility with redecoration in future too.

Large windows for ample flow of air

Tropics are usually hot and humid most part of the year, therefore the typical homes would have large windows for cross ventilation in summers and sun's warmth in winters. These days air conditioners and heaters have taken over any need to interact with the nature, however to redecorate the living room in tropical style large windows play a big role. Clamping the curtains on the side and letting sunlight in from the windows does the trick to brighten the colors in the room, and giving that sunny tropical feel.
