Decorate a Bedroom in Florida Style
Florida Style for a Bedroom
Bedroom Ideas with Florida Colors and Flair
You'll feel like you're sleeping in a tropical resort on Key West or St Augustine when you decorate your bedroom with Florida style.
I'll share some inspirational photos of bedrooms so you can see the elements that turn a bedroom into a Florida retreat. The pictures are from the model homes at the premier retirement community of Solivita, south of Orlando, Florida.
Where possible, I'll include similar products (curtains, lamps, bedspreads, pillows, wall art) in case you want to recreate the inspiration room in your own home.

Throw Pillows for the Bed - in gold or accent colors
Here are neutral cushions or covers for your existing cushions. I could not resist adding some with great tropical designs like palm trees and bird of paradise flowers.
Mix and Match Your Throw Pillows on the Bed
You don't want to be overly matching, so it looks like you just bought a packaged bed-in-a-bag. Look for different textures, colors and designs on the pillows but keep in mind that they need to harmonize too.
