Destination Inspired Décor: Island

Is the beach your home? Do you dream of longer vacations, soft white sand, and palm trees? Maybe you wish the temporary simplicity and relaxation of vacation on a luxurious island was more permanent. But as August and back-to-school quickly approach, you are reminded that your island oasis is just a fantasy. Or is it? Although you can’t get the soft sand or the sun right in your home, you can get the warm, relaxing atmosphere of your favorite tropical island. Whether you want a subtle island feel or an all-encompassing island presence, these elements will give you the home-based oasis you’ve always wanted.
