Hit the Beach with a Tropical Bedroom Theme

There are so many COOL ideas for a tropical theme. You can go with a hawaiian decorating idea or if you just love looking at the ocean ,then an ocean bedroom theme would be perfect. We will give you some great ideas so read on...

Let's start with some Hawaiian ideas for our tropical bedroom theme. What do you think of when you hear the word Hawaii? Coconuts, hula skirts, palm trees, roasted pig? You might want to leave out the roasted pig part when it comes to decorating!

The Walls

The walls can be painted just about any color your heart desires when it comes to a tropical bedroom theme. Some good neutral shades would be white, beige, cream or a blue to represent the skies. See the All About Walls page for more painting information. If you decide to tone it down with the walls you can add more character with the bedding and accessories.

If you don't want to paint the walls for your tropical bedroom theme, then you can go with wallpaper. It's a little more permanent than paint which you will want to take into consideration. There is wallpaper with little coconuts all over, palm tree leaves and hula dancers.

If you don't want to spend the time wallpapering the entire wall then choose one wall to accent and make the focus of the room. You can also mix painting and wallpapering by adding a wallpaper border around the room.

Another idea are wall stickers. Yes, we said wall stickers! There are some really cool ones out there and all you do is stick it on your wall. It's so easy and the selection is amazing.

These stickers are waterproof and the adhesive does not stay on the walls. A very awesome tropical bedroom theme idea! Click on the palm tree here and get ready to see some cool stuff.

You can also decorate your walls with tropical bedroom theme posters. This is a great idea for the person that is within a tight budget. There are some FANTASTIC tropical posters. As you look at them, you actually feel like you are at the beach! Are you ready to move on and stop talking about the walls? Don't skip ahead yet!

We need to talk about wall murals! This is a fun wall option for your tropical bedroom theme with that hawaiian flair. Some mural ideas are: palm trees murals, tiki tower, sunset or hula dancers.

The Bedding

Let's have fun with the bedding!

You could go for a solid color bedding if you wanted to but there are so many great bedding options for a tropical bedroom theme. For the hawaiian decorating ideachoose bedding with palm trees, hibiscus flowers, pineapples, or just palm leaves.

One thing that Hawaii is known for is their surfing. So a room with surf board bedding would look really cool.

A rafia bed skirt would add a nice touch also. Another hawaiian decorating idea you could use is a mosquito netting wall canopy. This really makes the bed the center of attention and makes you feel as if you are staying in a little Hawaiian hut right on the ocean!

The Windows

For the window treatment you can use curtains that are the same fabric and design as your bedding. A sheer fabric would also make a really nice window treatment for a tropical bedroom theme. Either buy the sheer panels or a sheer swag to drape over the rod. A rod with pineapple finials would complete this look very well.

Some fun do-it-yourself projects to play around with are to take strands of silk flowers like hibiscus and wind them around the rod. You could also take a tan or green grass skirt, trim it a little and hot glue it to the curtain rod. That would give it that Hawaiian hut feeling.

The Accessories

Accessories that you could add to your tropical bedroom theme are:

*grass skirts (drape it over a small table or night stand)
*real or silk palm trees
*surf board props
*tiki torches
*pineapples (real, fake, pineapple shaped candles)
*Tribal decorations (masks, statues)
*leis
*coconuts
*shells
*palm tree floor lamp
*hammock
*beach umbrella
*tiki entrance

With a few added accessories you can create your own paradise!

The Rug

When it comes to the rug there are many choices.

For decoration purposes only you could go with a surf shaped rug. Or if you need a bigger rug to cover more of the room, a rug with palm tree leaves or hibiscus flowers would look good. You could also decorate with a solid color rug in just about any color that you want. Just make sure that it compliments the walls and the bedding.

The Furniture

Some furniture choices that would go well with a tropical bedroom theme are:

*ratan storage baskets
*wicker trunks
*patio table and chair set with umbrella
