Look #3: Tropical Island Porch

The same three pieces of furniture with some very large plants and the porch is set for an island design. A key element to this look is breezy mosquito netting panels hung from rustic wooden brackets for the ultimate in romantic island style. Next, the easiest way to turn any plain white table into something with an island feel is the simple addition of dark brown rattan baskets. Finally, reed window shades add warmth and character to the white patio furniture. A few cushions and pillows for more comfort and you've got island fever!
