Tropical Color Palette

Though you may have thought that tropical designs are all about bright colors, contemporary tropical kitchens are white and off-white. You may go for sleek white cabinets, grey or creamy ones, with wooden or stone countertops and backsplashes. Another idea is to go dark – really dark or black stained wooden cabinets. Then you just add bright touches, and the first idea, which is the most trending at the same time, is tropical leaf prints – such wallpaper can be used for a statement wall, ceiling or backsplash. One more trending wallpaper idea is flamingo wallpaper, which is very whimsy and fun. Dot your kitchen with colorful furniture and artworks and voila!
