The kitchen is supposed to be one of the brightest and most vibrant rooms of the entire home. It’s where family and friends get together to cook, eat, chat and generally enjoy each other’s company. In this case, it simply makes sense to make it an invigorating and inspiring place in which to spend time.
One of the most popular interior design trends for kitchens over recent years has been the ‘taste of the tropics’ theme. This is basically where creative efforts are made to bring a nature-inspired, if not somewhat beach-themed ambience into the home. A tropical theme can bring even the smallest kitchen to life and is something that can be achieved with surprising simplicity.
Of course, it is entirely up to you as to how far you take the whole thing. You don’t necessarily have to convert your kitchen into a makeshift beach shack, or to get carried away with all manner of nautical trinkets. Instead, it’s simply a case of thinking about the most inspiring elements of tropical environments and bringing them into your kitchen.
Here are just a few ideas to get you started:
- Bright Bursts of Sunshine
Bright and sunny colours are perhaps more at home in the kitchen than they are anywhere else. This is a space in which you can get away with painting your walls, cabinets and trim the kinds of colours that may not be suitable elsewhere. Sunny yellows, uplifting oranges, white countertops – all complemented with hints of blue to round off the effect. A brightly coloured splashback to complement an otherwise fairly neutral kitchen can also get the job done with ease.
- Exotic Plants and Bamboo
There are also ways to bring a taste of the tropics into your kitchen without resorting to conventional painting or decorating. One option is to add a liberal scattering of exotic plants and blooms, coupled with accessories and ornaments made from bamboo and reclaimed wood. Driftwood accessories and wall-hanging ornaments can be particularly effective, in creating that quintessential coastal vibe.
- A Bespoke Splashback
If you plan on bringing a splashback into your kitchen, why not use it to create a window to the world you are looking to recreate? Find your favourite photo from a memorable holiday with family or friends and consider having it printed on your own bespoke splashback. If your goal is to bring something truly unique into your home, custom splashback design has you covered.
- The Colours of Nature
Creating a tropical theme in the kitchen is one of many approaches to the indoors-outdoors take on interior design. It calls for a strong focus on nature-inspired colours, in order to achieve the desired effect. From countertops to cabinets to flooring to curtains to ornaments and more, keeping everything within the same nature-inspired colour palette will help bring the whole thing together. Finish your tropical kitchen off with a custom splashback featuring tropical landscapes and you’re good to go!
