renada is a melting pot of cultures, set like jewels in a landscape of white sand beaches, blue skies and emerald forests. Along with steel pan, relaxed island culture, and cuisine both spicy and sweet, the charm and vibrancy of Caribbean design leaves an indelible impression. While many of the basic forms are European - French, British Colonial, Spanish baroque -- the colors are as dramatic as the natural landscape. Houses in shades of mango, lime and dazzling whitewash glow alongside jewel-toned orchids and clear blue ocean. Perfectly manicured green lawns give way to pure white sands.

Caribbean design resembles diverse indigenous, African and European elements to suit a tropical environment. Steep gabled roofs and low facades deflect powerful tradewinds. Gingerbread fretwork, wide verandas, and shuttered windows shade interiors from the island sun. Materials like coral and palms come from the local landscape; the region's history as a crossroads adds ballast bricks from colonial ships, pink fish scale tiles found on many roofs in the town of St. Georges.
Simplicity with a touch of colonial elegance provide the foundation for a Caribbean style room. Furniture in white wicker, of course, and mahogany. Floors of natural tile or hardwood, and walls in bright white or tropical color. Shutters (if possible, and a rum punch at your elbow...

If you’re looking for an excuse to add vibrant color to a kitchen interior then you might consider making a Caribbean themed kitchen. Anyone who has travelled to the Caribbean island of Grenada will know the rich assortments of colour that can be found on the island.

The warm climate and colorful way of life in Grenada, also known as the isle of spice, lends itself perfectly to interior décor and the creation of a vibrant kitchen scheme. Strong colors and simplicity are the key elements to interiors of this style. Rooms which catch the sun a lot are particularly suitable and mimic the glorious weather found in the Caribbean pretty much all year round.

Elements of Grenada Style:
White: The beaches and sand of the Grenada is reflected in this color.
Nutmeg: the colour of mahogany for natural floor boards and wooden natual skirting boards.natural wood tones can be used as accent pieces whether as part of furniture, table accessories or wall hangings. Other wooden furniture pieces in such woods as white cedar, bluemahoe, yellow pine will look particularly good with the Caribbean kitchen style.
Blue: rich blue of the sky can be mixed with white to soften the effect by using techniques such as lime-wash scrubbing. A rag soaked in methylated spirits can also be used to rub away some of the paint thereby creating a cloud effect much like seeing faint wisps of cloud in the blue tropical sky.
Green: Lush Grand Etang Rainforests and lime give accented colour on throws and cushions.
Orange:Mango, oranges can be used for furnishing fabrics and tiles.
