Weekly Wrap-Up: Tropical Medicine

The best way to beat the heat? Join it—and slow down (way down). This week Remodelista decided to hone in on hot designs from the tropics. Here’s a sampling.

tropical-print-botany-wall-a-er-lemon-gardenista — Above: The next best thing to a tropical vacation—lush botanical wallpaper in your home to encourage a lazier pace. See 9 Favorites: Rooms with a Touch of the Tropical, Wallpaper Edition.

Wellfleet, Massachusetts, is nowhere near the tropics, but Julie’s summer home also inspires a mental shift into a slower gear. She recently transformed her guest bedroom just by giving it a fresh coat of paint. See Before & After: A Low-Cost Summer Guest Room Makeover, Cape Cod Edition for details and paint colors.
