If you love the feel and idea of the tropics, even if it is just at the movies, beach theme bedding is a great way to get the feel of the ocean in your home year round. Bedding with a marine or tropical theme can add a special touch to rooms or homes suffering from the winter blahs. The tropics might mean something to one person and something completely different to someone else. Look through some of these suggestions for ideas about what bedding will give your bedroom a little island flavor.

When you want to bring hot, tropical colors into your home, think bright orange for the sunsets, green for the palm trees and deep blue for the ocean. Mix them all together for a great island feel.

If you want to really look for a bedroom with that coastal home decorating feel, consider bold prints in bright colors with patterns such as tropical fish, birds or flowers. Some examples include images of parrots, flamingos or palm trees. Floral designs such as bird of paradise, hibiscus or plumeria with lifelike colors also provide a great way to make your bedding shout tropical vacation.

Fish themes are another idea that could be used to convey a laid-back, warm beach feeling to your bedroom. If you’ve ever spent time snorkeling in warm ocean waters, you’ve probably seen brilliant reds, yellows and blues in the fish inhabiting the waters near coral reefs. Find the same bright colors in your bedding to make your room seem warmer even when the weather is icy outdoors.

A lighthouse sitting on a sandy coastline with the ocean in the background brings up visions of a seaside getaway. The soothing colors of sea blues and sandy browns with a touch of white caps are perfect for a coastal themed bedroom. You can even add a palm tree or two to bring the tropical theme into focus.

Another way to get the tropics into your home decor is to use bedding that has prints of sailboats. With billowing sails and perhaps a warm sunset in the background, you can mix and match prints and solids for color and images reminiscent of sandy shores. Tranquility in the images and vibrancy in the colors can be brought together with the effect of portraying tropical warmth.

Many bedding sets have images of seashells. Some sets feature embroidered edging that looks like scallop or nautilus shells. Even muted colors finished off with shell decorations can be a wonderful reminder of the tropics.

If you want to really have unusual beach theme bedding, think about finding fun bedding with seahorses, crabs and lobsters as a theme. Have fun with it. Add your own imaginative accessories to accentuate your beach decor.
