Design Styles
Tropical
Tropical design brings the lush, relaxed feeling of island living into your home. This style celebrates bold botanical patterns, natural materials like rattan and bamboo, and a color palette inspired by ocean, jungle, and exotic flowers. It's permanent vacation vibes.
Tropical design works particularly well in spaces with abundant natural light and where indoor-outdoor flow is possible. Even in colder climates, this style can create a warm, escapist retreat from everyday life.
