My name is Kenzie Leon Perry, and I am a licensed interior designer born and raised in sunny Miami, FL. Growing up in a subtropical climate and working as a resort designer in the Caribbean for many years, the tropical design aesthetic naturally became ingrained in my memory.
In 2021, while auditioning for HGTV's Design Star: Next Gen, one of the casting questions was to define my design style. Reflecting on the design I was creating in my personal residence, I observed a cohesive theme: tropical mural on an accent wall, original paintings of black bodies accentuated by botanical elements, and a curated selection of furniture and color schemes. Thus, TropicArt Nuvo was born.
TropicArt Nuvo is a design style inspired by Miami's and the Caribbean's tropical motifs and colors, featuring hand-painted murals or wallpapers, along with a mix of modern and vintage furniture and decor to create curated spaces. The style is a modern spin on Art Nouveau, an international style of art, architecture, and applied art that was popular between 1890 and 1910. Art Nouveau often drew inspiration from natural forms, with sinuous curves of plants and flowers, and used modern materials to create unusual forms and larger open spaces.
This comprehensive guide will help you understand how to transform your spaces using our unique approach, infusing them with vibrant colors, patterns, and a touch of the tropics.
Key Elements of TropicArt Nuvo:
1. Tropical Wallpaper or Mural:
TropicArt Nuvo is best achieved by incorporating a large tropical mural or wallpaper to creatively envelop the tropical aesthetic. This element sets the tone, creates a color palette, draws the eye to a focal point, and makes one feel encapsulated in paradise.
At Ze Haus, we believe that high-quality, custom designs should be accessible. Our wallpaper collections are both bespoke and affordable, allowing you to create a personalized space without breaking the bank.
Start by selecting a wallpaper that resonates with your style and the ambiance you want to create. Whether you're looking for a statement wall or a subtle backdrop, our collections offer something for every taste. Our designs range from intricate botanical prints to abstract motifs, each telling a unique story.
Use our wallpapers to create focal points in your rooms. A feature wall behind a bed or sofa can instantly transform the look and feel of a space. Our peel-and-stick options make it easy to experiment and change up your design.
2. Bold Colors and Eclectic Patterns:
Nature is color, and color is life. When you are in nature, you are surrounded by a vast sea of colors and patterns found in plants and animals. These elements blend seamlessly together, forming a continuously beautiful landscape. Start by selecting one large piece, like a sofa, to infuse color. Enhance the look with small-scale patterns via decorative throw pillows or an area rug to complement your tropical mural or wallpaper.
Mix and match patterns and textures to add depth and interest to your interiors. Pair bold wallpaper with neutral furnishings, or combine different prints for a more eclectic look. The key is to balance elements to achieve harmony.
3. Modern and Vintage Furniture:
The key to making an interior space feel warm and welcoming is to mix modern and vintage furniture and decor. Modern pieces are timeless additions that can be used for various design styles, while vintage pieces tell a story, sparking conversations about their history or where you found them. Consider using natural materials like bamboo and rattan for a retro vibe.
4. Incorporating Natural Elements:
Bring a touch of the tropics indoors by incorporating natural elements such as plants, woven baskets, and natural fiber rugs. These elements not only complement our wallpapers but also enhance the overall aesthetic.
By following these guidelines, you can transform your spaces with TropicArt Nuvo, creating environments rich in depth, character, and a distinctive tropical flair.
