Tropical Oasis

Tuesday Theme!

Today's "Tuesday Theme" is Tropical Oasis. Didn't everyone grow up with a dolphin or fish themed bathroom as a kid or am I the only one? Ha! Well, times have changed and ocean themed rooms are still popular. Tropics are something more than the little fishbowls that are filled with fish and posters which might probably be much bored as you are. Tropical spaces are more about the blend of colors and simplicity that would make you feel as if you were actually there. The more curves you have in a space the better it will make it feel. Curves represent the ocean. Light, cool colors represent the water and atmosphere you get in a tropical place. Bamboo is a great wood that you can incorporate into the space as well as wicker for items such as baskets and chairs. Also fabrics such as linen and burlap add texture to the space. It's as simple as some shells on sand in a vase that can tie the room together. You don't always have to throw a palm tree in the corner to get your "tropical" feel.
The pictures below are of some spaces that have been recreated to an underwater paradise. The artists and designers of these spaces are so talented and so creative. So relaxing!











This bed is fabulous.



And I thought I'd share a room in my own home that is ocean themed. This room for when my two nephews and niece come to stay. It's not quite finished because my mother is constantly adding new things to it. My sister painted all the decor on the walls. Excuse the mess; can you ever keep a kid's room clean?



Don't be embarrassed if you want an ocean themed room because no one is too old to have a relaxing oasis! There's a right way to do everything so that it doesn't look tacky. Get some help from your trusted friends and family and research designers to have done ocean themed rooms and have at it! Everyone loves the beach so why not display that in a room of your own, just don't go overboard! (get it? overboard?)

If you're interested in giving me a theme for Tuesdays or a celebrity for Wednesday I'd love to do it! Just comment on this post or on my Facebook page. Thanks!

Hope you enjoyed today's Tuesday Theme! Have a great day!
