Why wait for vacation when you can bring the beach or rainforest to your home? With the right décor and paint colour choices, you can create a tropical paradise in your living space, perfect for relaxing and entertaining year-round. Here’s how to transform rooms or outdoor spaces into a tropical retreat, using Cloverdale Paint’s vibrant paint colours and high-quality stains.

1. Transform Your Room into a Tropical Paradise

• Paint Colour Tips: Start with a base of soft, beachy neutrals like Cloverdale Paint’s Mystic Fog (0019) or Bonaire (0020) to create a calming backdrop. Then, add a pop of vibrant colour in turquoise/aqua (Eastern Wind, 0677), green (Glass Bottle, 0773), coral (Bay Coral, 1087) or a sunny yellow (Happy Face, 0851). Cloverdale Paint’s selection of bright colours can instantly lift your space and put you into vacation mode.

• Décor Elements: Incorporate tropical plants like palms, ferns and bird of paradise. Bold patterns such as tropical leaves, florals and geometric prints on cushions, rugs and curtains add visual interest. Beach-inspired accessories like seashells, driftwood, ocean-themed artwork or a well-placed hammock complete the look, making the space feel like a coastal escape.

2. Outdoor Tropical Chic

• Deck Stain Colours: Extend the tropical vibe to your outdoor spaces with the right deck stain colours. Cloverdale Paint’s SharkSkin® Solid Hide Stain offers rich, bold hues that are perfect for creating a vibrant outdoor setting. Opt for shades of blue and green to evoke the feel of the ocean or a rainforest. These colours not only enhance the natural beauty of your deck but also create a cohesive look with your indoor tropical theme. Try stain colours like Seascape (EX143), Copper Verde (EX147) or Tidal (EX154). 

• Outdoor Décor: Use outdoor furniture in natural materials like bamboo, rattan or teak to create a laid-back, island feel. Add colourful cushions, outdoor rugs and tropical plants to make your deck a welcoming space for lounging or entertaining. String lights and lanterns can add a magical touch to evening gatherings, transforming your deck into a cozy retreat.

3. Maximalist Style

• Maximalist Décor: Embrace a maximalist approach by layering textures, patterns and colours. Mix and match different elements to create a rich, lush environment. Think oversized plants, a mix of patterned textiles and eclectic art pieces.

• Lush Greenery: Surround yourself with greenery, both real and faux, to enhance the tropical feel. Plants of various sizes and heights can be placed around the room, on shelves and in hanging baskets.

With these tropical chic ideas, you can create a space that feels like a beach or rainforest getaway, perfect for unwinding after a long day or entertaining friends and family. Whether you’re focusing on indoor transformations or outdoor enhancements, Cloverdale Paint has the perfect colours and products to bring your vision to life.
