That looks like a pretty paint color.
Do you have furniture for the room, or are you just starting out? What style of decorating do you like?

I love your chandelier. It certainly has that tropic's look. I'm only familiar with the British West Indies/British Colonial look. Are you looking for something different than that?

I love the plantation, British Colonial look! What fun you will have. We have some of the Tommy Hilfiger British Colonial line in our bedroom.

Hi neighbor you have a a home in Jamaica and I live in the West Indies. I think dark wicker stained furniture with white cushions would be nice.

I would not go the cliche colonial style. Too much of what is expected and not imaginative. It is not colonial times anymore.

I would keep it simple with a natural fiber rug (sisal) white sofas and accent chairs with chocolate accents. Or play up the yellow walls with more chocolate and yellow accents.

see this living from the Pottery Barn website.

Hope this helps
