A 36-page Tropical playbook for renters. Four rooms, Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams paint codes, a 20-item shopping index with price bands, and three weekend projects.
Tropical is resort-casual: rattan, bamboo and teak, seagrass underfoot, white linen and terracotta, in coconut white and jungle green. Plants are architecture, and the palette stays warm rather than turquoise.
This book prices the look for a rental. Paint colours are named for two brands. Products are named by retailer so you know what to search for. Every project in it uses a removable or reversible method.
What is in the 36 pages
Seven opening pages set the style up: era and origin, materials, references, the colour palette, and master finishes. Sixteen pages cover four rooms. The remaining 13 are a renter playbook: rules, proportions, room commitments, a style diagnostic, maker provenance, three projects, a thrift guide, substitutions, and a two-page shopping index.
The four rooms
Living Room, Bedroom, Kitchen / Dining and Bathroom. Each room gets four pages: the room itself, an education spread, a mixed moodboard, and a shop-the-look page.
Paint and materials
Five paint colours, each with a Benjamin Moore name and code and a Sherwin-Williams name and code. Coconut White is BM White Dove OC-17 or SW Alabaster SW 7008. Six signature materials: rattan, bamboo, teak, sea grass / sisal, white linen and terracotta.
The shopping index
Twenty items grouped by room, each with a price band and the page it appears on. BUSKBO rattan armchair runs $150 to $225. Havana rattan sofa runs $550 to $850.
Weekend projects
Three builds with a materials list and a running cost, from $10 to $60. Rattan pendant light shade, banana leaf tray art and living plant cluster corner.
Renter rules and substitutions
Two pages of renter rules, then eight substitution pages: the designer piece, the cheaper piece, and why the trade holds up. Serena & Lily resort sofa - $3,000-4,250 against World Market Havana rattan sofa - $550-850.
What format is the file
PDF, 36 pages. It opens on a phone, a laptop, or a printer. No app and no login.
Are the products shown clickable
No. Retailers and product names are printed so you know what to search for. Nothing routes out to a store.
Are the prices real
They are researched estimate bands, not live quotes. Check the current figure before you buy.
Will any of this work in a rental
Two pages of renter rules cover what to avoid, and every one of the three projects uses a removable or reversible method.
How do I know Tropical is the right style
A four-panel diagnostic sets tropical beside the things it gets mistaken for: Palm Beach, Coastal / Nautical, Boho and Jungle maximalism, with the tell for each.
