Costa Rican Design Style

I took a few great design ideas away from my adventure in Costa Rica. I loved their use of bold colors, especially all of the turquoise:XANDARI TRIPeatroomSo pretty!Our tree house lodging was very nice:copa bedSimple and lovely. I really liked the bed coverlet:copa bed2I asked the owner if he purchased locally. He laughed and told me he bought them in the US at Ikea! haha I searched online and found similar ones:orange_floral_mediterranean_bedspread_detail

Wouldn’t a guest room be beautiful using these coverlets as your starting point?I also admired the simple flower arrangements in our room:plantThey use living spider plants, leaving the roots in water instead of dirt:plant rootsThen just add any cut flower you want. Here they used beautiful Bird of Paradise flowers:plant2I decided to make one myself. I found a vase and thought I would use nuts on the bottom:nutsnuts2Nuts float. I did not know that.

I bought a spider plant at Lowe’s and separated into pieces:spider plantI was able to make a few different arrangements:white flowersSo pretty and easy and it is updating an indoor plant. The spider leaves are a great filler plant for many arrangements. What do you think of the idea?
