Set up a Hawaiian Themed Office for a Mini Vacation Every Day!

Ever wanted to get a taste of a Hawaiian vacation while you’re working and saving for the real trip to tropical paradise? If you have the flexibility of working from home, then why not make your home office a reminder of island living while reaping the benefits of a calming and relaxing work environment? Even while you work away in the comfort of your beautiful ergonomic office chair and perfectly placed office desk, you can enjoy a taste of the tropics by setting up a Hawaiian themed home office, and here are some helpful hints for your office decorating adventure.

• Perhaps the most telling print of a Hawaiian theme is the floral, typically a colorful pattern resembling the popular Hawaiian hibiscus flower. You should keep this in mind, and as you find subtle places to add any accessories that share a common flowered print, feel free to do so. You’ll be surprised at all the opportunities you’ll find – from pencil holders and office chair cushions to lampshades and desk blotters. Used as an accent to your windows, for example, a Hawaiian floral print used to contrast a neutral window dressing can bring the feeling of a Maui vacation right to your desk!
• When choosing the office furniture to include in your Hawaiian home office, you would do well to keep with Hawaiian norms. Furniture in a typical Hawaii home creates a peaceful and relaxing mood. Furniture tends to be lightweight and provide straight, clean lines, and that includes office furniture. As many Hawaii properties are professionally decorated, often you’ll find the most Hawaiian feel in a Hawaii vacation rental - so if you have a chance to browse these for idea it’s never a bad idea. You might just end up with a new way to use some bamboo and wicker as accent pieces!
• Accessories might just be the key to transforming your home office furniture into a Hawaiian themed ambiance, and to get this right you’ll want to start thinking Hawaiian. Palm trees, pineapples, flowers, carvings and tiki are the name of this game. You may find a palm tree themed lamp, for example, that would be the perfect source of desk lighting for your home office. If you plan to add art, a carving made of heavy wood and purchased on a Kauai vacation is both an elegant and truly Hawaiian conversation piece that can accent to your work space. A beach scene photographed or painted and gracefully done could be the perfect addition to your home office walls, but beware – you’ll want to use these accessories sparingly as you run the risk of going overboard with each addition!
• Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, you’ll want to make sure that the office you spend your time in is one that will create a calming and relaxing atmosphere for your work space. The ideal computer desk and comfortable executive chair can start you on your way, but you’ll want to make sure that the setting is equally comfortable. Soft and relaxing earth tones can be meshed well with a little texture. Either a faux painting method or even textured wallpapers can add that final touch that brings you into that Hawaii vacation frame of mind!
