Inspiration for Florida Home Décor

Bring the sunshine of Florida into your home by decorating with colors and textures inspired by tropical Floridian heat. When you’re looking for Florida home decorating ideas, look no further than the warm tropical landscape and the beautiful ocean view. Modern Florida design is warm, welcoming, clean, and well put-together.

Breezy Tropical Resort-Inspired Style

Light, easy, breezy style, reminiscent of a tropical resort, makes perfect sense for Florida interiors. We get seemingly endless sunny days and warm sea breezes on the regular. We live in a tropical paradise that we want to blend seamlessly into our living spaces.

As a result, we’ve adopted a vibrant, tropical decorating style that includes white walls, plant-inspired prints, and bright pops of citrus-y colors. This brightness is juxtaposed with earth-inspired materials such as rattan, cane, and bamboo, giving Florida interiors a distinctly casual vibe.

With details such as leather-wrapped rattan and bamboo, the Bali Hai Capri Square Glass Top Cocktail Table from Tommy Bahama gives this room tropical charm. Other pieces in the collection feature woven raffia details tropical upholstery featuring colors drawn from Florida’s iconic citrus.

Sun-Drenched Mediterranean-Inspired Style

Popularized in the 20s and 30s, elements of Mediterranean style have long been a part of Florida style. Red tiles, vibrant blues, and iron-work details are still commonly found in Florida architecture and interiors. These details create the laid-back, eclectic feel that defines Florida living.

When decorating in Mediterranean-inspired style, think in pairs: pairs of sconces, pairs of sofas, pairs of chairs. Create a unified look by painting the walls in a space one color and use the same flooring throughout. Warm up the space with wood and other natural materials.

Contemporary Coastal-Inspired Style

Contemporary coastal-inspired style uses basic finishes and simple lines paired with bold colors. Clean lines and natural finishes are a hallmark of the updated look. The navy blue Escape Marina Finished Campaign Chest from Universal Coastal Living Home can elevate the style of any room. It brings in a distinctly coastal feel without feeling kitschy or forced.

Additional characteristics of coastal contemporary include light-reflecting materials such as mirrors or glass, easy-care floors such as hardwood, tile, or vinyl, warm wall colors, and plenty of light.

Those Marvelous Mixed Metallics and Mirrors

Metallic and mirrored details are the new neutral. They bring just the right amount of glamour and sparkle to any space. You’ll see them in metal tile backsplashes and bathroom details. You can also find metallic details on accent furniture. This shiny material reflects light and color without being jarring or out of place in Florida homes. It goes with every style from traditional to coastal to modern.

The Allure Bachelors Chest with Antiqued Mirror Panels from Bernhardt lives up to its name, with alluring mirrored accents and a palette of white and silver tones that give any space more than a hint of glamour. It brings a sense of understated elegance and fresh, effortless style.

Sunshine State of Mind

Keeping colors light and breezy, textures natural and organic, and silhouettes sleek and modern will create a state of mind that is very Floridian. More importantly, you’ll end up with a home that uniquely reflects your style.
