Being in the tropics just makes breathing a little easier, for some reason. Perhaps it's the colours, the gentler air, or the apparent slowing of time. The sky feels wider. Even the light seems gentler, like everything’s been filtered through golden sunshine. Honestly, you don’t need a plane ticket to feel it again. You can bring that same easy, sun-soaked vibe into your home; once you do, it’s like your whole space exhales.

Start with colour:

Just soft sea blues, a splash of coral, some leafy greens, the kind of colours you see in nature when you’re walking barefoot near the beach. Shades that remind you of ocean waves, soft sand, and flowers blooming under the sun. These colours don’t shout; they whisper. They set the tone without taking over.

Want It To Feel Calmer?

What about a figurine of a mother elephant and her young one? It has meaning in addition to being adorable. It is one of those pieces that adds cosiness to a table or shelf because it is painted in gentle tropical blues and turquoise tones. It has a tenderness that is symbolic of love. Not the loud, over-the-top kind. The quiet kind, like sitting by the ocean with someone you care about and not saying a word. That connection, that closeness, it’s captured in such a small, simple way. It’s the kind of piece people always notice, even if they don’t say anything right away.

Something about Buddha figurines in tropical greens and blues just changes the energy of a room. A Buddha tea light holder, especially in the evenings, gives off the kind of soft glow that makes everything feel still. Manojkumar Sharma, founder of Ashnam suggests that small things can also elevate the look of your home. If you’ve got little things like rings or random bits always lying around, there’s a Buddha jewellery box that keeps it all tucked away.

Need A Pop Of Colour?

Owl figurines do the trick. Bright, fun, and full of personality — in shades that look like they were scooped straight out of a tropical garden. Pink skies, golden sunshine, green leaves, blue waves… they bring a happy energy into any space. One by the window, one on a shelf, maybe one on your work desk. Tiny mood boosters. Just seeing them can make you smile. They remind you not to take things too seriously. To leave room for play, even in your décor.

To Ground It All, Nothing Beats Terracotta:

The colour of sun-warmed earth. It gives that natural, rustic feel that ties everything together. Terracotta pots, bowls, candle holders and even a horse figurine! — whatever fits your space. It’s simple but adds so much warmth. Feels like a quiet patio somewhere far away, where all you can hear are birds and the wind.

That’s the thing about tropical décor:

Maximalism or minimalism may be the goal. However it does not depend on if you fill the room or you like it more like a blank canvas. The idea is to inspire joy, peace and warmth. The goal is to create a setting where you want to stay on for a bit, even if it is for a fleeting moment.
