How To Create a Polynesian Bedroom

August 20th, 2009 2 comments

After returning from a Polynesian vacation, have you ever wished you could recreate the look and feel of paradise at home? I have. Ever since my first trip to French Polynesia, I’ve wanted a bedroom that looks like this:

I want the whole picture: from the wooden four poster bed to the sheer white mosquito netting to the room situated on stilts over an impossibly beautiful turquoise lagoon with perfect 80 degree temperature year-round.

OK. I guess I can’t have everything. At least I got to keep the purple pareos from the picture.

I also have the wooden four poster bed, so next on the list is the white mosquito netting. Something about the sheer fabric and bright white color against the wood just whispers “paradise” to me.

Unless you have the sewing knowledge to whip up one of these babies from scratch (not me), here are some pre-made options. Then you’ll be on your way to re-creating paradise at home!
