Belize is an up-and-coming travel destination, and it’s easy to see why. It’s an incredibly diverse country whose customs and traditions are influenced by more than eight different cultures, and the geography is varied too. You’ll find beaches, jungles, reefs, Mayan artifacts, and more – all in an area roughly the size of Massachusetts. The unique beauty of the country can’t be replicated, but it definitely inspires.
We’re especially in love with its tropical colors and Caribbean flair. Love it too? Read below for ideas for bringing laid-back, breezy Caribbean style inspired by Belize into your home.
Focus on Caribbean Colors & Elements
Colors
From the Great Blue Hole – a marine sinkhole and top SCUBA diving site – to jungles filled with tropical birds, Belize is bursting with color. Think turquoise and cobalt blue; shades of green; and pops of yellow, pink, orange, and purple. Balance these vibrant hues with crisp white and earthy neutrals.
Materials
Bring the Belize beach vibes with natural materials. Think driftwood accents and furniture and décor made with rattan, wood, linen, sea grass, and jute.
Patterns
Palm leaf patterns are on totally on trend, and they fit perfectly in a Caribbean-style space. Another option: Incorporate the flavors of Belize with prints featuring pineapples or other tropical fruits.
