Colour scheme
The colour scheme, and even the particular shades
and tones of those colours can greatly affect on whether
your efforts will achieve the intended look you are going
for.
The tropical theme is bright, vibrant and colourful and can
quickly go from captivating to kitsch very quickly if too many
colours or the wrong shades or tones of those colours are
chosen.
You'll see in the example on the right that the colour scheme
while bright stays in the warm tones. This will bring warmth
and brightness to your space.
