Bring things from nature indoors, like stones you find appealing, shells you picked up on the beach. Even adding a few beach looking plants around the rooms will help you reach the desired effect. You could even paint wood floors a sand or white color and then use nautical type throw rugs on them.
Paint is at reasonable prices these days so use nature inspired color palettes. Think about the blue of the ocean, the natural tan color of the sand and the pinks of the shells. These colors will work in whatever room you wish to show off your tropical decor.
