To add a ray of tropical sun to your room why not try the above 'Samara' wallpaper by Harlequin, with its fun, playful motifs, this wallpaper will brighten up the dullest of rooms. To compliment the wallpaper and add a touch of luxury and texture, try a simple and chic roman blind in 'Bella Stripe' the touch of silk will add an element of sophistication to this playful scheme. If you want to make an impact, go for a feature wall of Sanderson's Miro, these tropical leaves in sultry sunset colours are sure to grab your attention.

or...
Personalise it!
Give old furniture a new lease of life by painting it in your bold and bright colour pallette, don't be shy! (Zoffany paints available from Sasha Interiors, Hereford.) If you're not quite ready to commit to a feature wall, try framing some busy tropical prints without having to be fearful of the results - be as loud as you like!
Experiment with:
- Weaves - to add texture and avoid the room becoming too harsh
- Flowers - bringing the tropics indoors
- White - to bring out the true impact of your new colour scheme
