Jun 29th, 2008 by atlanta apartments
Besides the contemporary, oriental and cottage style decor being the current trend of the season, another very popular theme for Atlanta apartments is the tropical look. The best aspect of tropical decoration is that you need not stick to any rules but can have loads of fun experimenting and trying out different ideas. Try to create that warm yet vibrant atmosphere, typically associated with tropical regions like Hawaii and Jamaica. Start off by painting one of the walls in jungle prints or colorful beach designs. This will lend not only a tropical look but also a tropical feel to your Atlanta apartment. To give it a more realistic touch, you can even request your friends returning from the tropics to get you some artifacts and artisan showpieces from there.
A very easy and simple way to pull off this look is to make elaborate use of bamboo furniture. Room dividers made in bamboo or cane, not only give you a distinct and individual space for your studio Atlanta apartments but also offer privacy. And they definitely add a unique appeal of the tropics. To replicate and accentuate the tropical ambience, it would help if you add bar stools in bamboo. Container of spices, clusters of coconuts and bunches of capsicum peppers and onions will certainly add an element of spice and flavor to your tropical interiors. Brighten up the décor with a splash of greenery through the extensive use of tropical plants everywhere. If you find it difficult to maintain the real ones, then opt for silk plants which are equally realistic.
Shun the use of neutral and muted shades like magnolia, whites, off-whites, beiges and creams. Instead go in for rich and warm tropical tones like browns, oranges and yellows. Mix and match your drapes, blinds, upholstery, furniture and accessories in these colors to create the mood and magic of the tropics. Do not limit the tropical theme, merely to your living room and bedroom. Instead, carry it further into your kitchen and bathroom. You can follow similar guidelines in these rooms as well. Become innovative and paint a few tropical panoramas on your kitchen walls or beaches with palm trees, shellfishes and waves in your bathroom. Use a cool palette of colors like greens and blues. You can even hang shower curtains that feature tropical patterns.
A tropical theme is ideal, especially for the children’s room. Here you can paint the wall with tropical species of plants and animals in bright colors to create a lively and playful atmosphere. Choose colors appropriately as they have the power to influence your moods and can make or break the flow of energy in your living space. Creating a tropical theme can be a liberating experience as it does not chase any ground rules. This style of interior designing is apt for the lighthearted and can be interpreted as per your whims and fancies. Keep the furniture and setting simple. Cane furniture with soft cushions; make for a more causal and inviting atmosphere in your Atlanta apartment.
