- Use bamboo for fencing the backyard. This instantly adds colour and tropical charm.
- Palm trees are crucial for your backyard to be Tropical. Landscape your garden with them, and try to vary the sizes of them so that the garden has different levels.
- If you have a pool, provide lounges and seating next to it. Bamboo or cane furniture in earthy tones will capture the essence of a Hawaii resort. Throw warm coloured cushions on top. Also, invest in some large floor style cushions.
- The key ingredient for your Tropical Paradise is a deck. Have it adjacent to the house, or have it stand-alone style, situated amongst a ferny tropical garden. Place a sisal rug on the deck too, this will add a homey touch to your resort inspired yard
- Tiki statues and torches dotted around the garden will help set the exotic mood.
- Consider having a large sandpit, which can be used for a child’s play area, or for some beach volleyball games!
- Tiki bars and huts with thatched roofing will serve as an excellent entertainment space.
- Umbrellas will serve as a shade provider during the day, but during the night they can be decorated with fairy lights for magical deck parties.
