4 Ways to Make Your Home Look More Tropical
1. Take a look at wicker patio furniture sets
Even if it isn’t 85 and sunny at your house (like it was on your last Caribbean vacation!), wicker patio furniture sets can make you feel like you’re in the middle of some tropical oasis. And, luckily, they’re durable enough to withstand whatever happens in the elements at your house.
How is that possible?
Wicker patio furniture sets are made out of special wicker that has been blended with resin. The resin acts like a shield — protecting it from mildew, warping, and even fading. That way, whether it’s the middle of the summer or the middle of the winter, you can get a tropical vibe in your own backyard.
Once your cushions start to look a little worn from sitting outside all the time, simply buy new ones. A good wicker retailer will have plenty to choose from.
2. Get a rattan dining set
If you’re looking for something that gives off a relaxing vibe — but it sturdy enough to withstand the rigors of three meals a day — opt for a rattan dining set.
Because it’s manufactured a little differently from wicker, rattan is sturdier. That way, you and the kids can sit on it every day and not have to worry about it weakening. In fact, this stuff is so strong that you can count on eating at one of these sets long after the kids are grown up and gone!
3. Don’t be afraid to use wicker and rattan furniture together
The great thing about wicker and rattan furniture is that they look great together, even though they’re not exactly identical. They are made from the same vines, and the only difference between the two is how they’re manufactured. Wicker is cut into thin strips and woven together, while rattan is left in thicker pieces.
As a result, these two types of furniture look great right next to each other. So, if you want to add a little variety to your room, incorporate both into your décor.
4. Stick some wicker chairs in your sunroom
On days when it’s too cold to head outside, you can get a tropical vibe right in your sunroom. But in order to make the most out of that vibe, decorate it with wicker chairs. That way, your furniture will be just as light and airy as the sunlight streaming in!
