Choose furniture. If you are working with your existing furniture, consider refurbishing your dresser and bed frame in a rich, deep mahogany that is reminiscent of the abundant teakwood of the tropics.

Buy accessories. Keep in line with the main tropical theme. If palm trees are your thing, purchase a few lamps and picture frames with a palm tree or palm leaf design.

Hang curtains. Sheers are a must because they are light and billowy. If you want more privacy, layer a heavier curtain in front of the sheers.
