With summer on its way, I’d love to add some new color, texture, and style to my family room and I’m loving all of the tropical decor that I’m seeing in the new summer lines! You all know that I’m a neutral-loving girl at heart but I also like to mix in a little color and the tropical textures and punches of green work beautifully with the furniture and accessories that I already have.
Ready to see a few of my favorites? (post includes affiliate links – disclosure statement available {here}). I’ve always been a fan of rattan, but pair it with a palm frond pillow (both from Williams-Sonoma Home) and I’m totally head over heels:
These more subtle palm pillow designs from Anthropologie are beautiful too:
In the next few months I’m finally going to get to work on making over our master bedroom and I keep going back and forth about the colors that I want to bring into that space but this mix of neutrals with green palm bedding is definitely a contender:
This slightly more modern palm bedding from Pottery Barn is beautiful too, especially when it’s combined with the textures of the woven shades and nightstands:
And how cool are these tropical decoupage trays? They look very similar to John Derian’s trays but cost much less:
And for some even less expensive tropical decor, I’m loving the look of simple palm fronds in a vase, like in this over-the-top gorgeous space by Jana Bek Design:
What do you guys think? Are you loving the tropical look?

May 19, 2015 at 8:00 amI do love it! In fact I am using the Tommy Bahama Swaying Palms fabric for pillows on my deck this year! And I am a HUGE fan of combining it with blue, the colors are so pretty together!

May 19, 2015 at 10:17 pmI love, love, love your new deck pillows! And you’ve got to have some kind of special occasion to justify splurging on one of these too, right?! 🙂

May 19, 2015 at 9:15 amYes! I’m loving it! I more than likely will be re-doing my piano room in these colors!
Kris Jarrett says
May 19, 2015 at 10:18 pmA piano room?! How fun would that be to decorate!
Jessica says
May 20, 2015 at 12:04 amYes! A fun but challenging room to decorate. I’ve got so many weird angles and windows in my old house, however, your post on your parents window treatments was helpful! You’ll have to share some more photos of their home!

May 19, 2015 at 9:19 amI’m always attracted to rattan and bamboo…add a little texture, little blue and a palm leaf…perfect!
Kris Jarrett says
May 19, 2015 at 10:18 pmThe perfect combo, right?!

I am working on a few projects with Navy and Citron green …. baby boy nursery that will be on point. Thank you for your inspirational pictures and helping me to love green

May 19, 2015 at 2:00 pmI’m right there with you! Love your inspiration images. It’s almost as if navy and green are neutrals come summer.

May 19, 2015 at 3:02 pmI love these colors and patterns together. That palm print seems to be very popular this year. I think it will pair nicely with rattan.

May 19, 2015 at 4:12 pmBeautiful inspiration, I love the more yellow/greens citron, chartreuse, or dare I say avocado! 🙂
