Wall colors
The walls of your living area will be your canvas in depicting your theme. So, just imagine how your skin will look when it gets sun tanned.

You must go for cool earthly tones that render coolness to the eyes, such as taupe, brown, pale yellow and ecru. But, they must be restricted to the sun kissed color palette only so that your theme is depicted well.
Work on natural textures
When you have decided to give your home the makeover of a sun kissed hub, work on the natural textures more, so that the typical coastal summer look is felt everywhere. Replace your furniture and fixtures with the ones that are made from wicker, sea grass and rattan. The knitted structure of these materials imparts a natural hand sewn look that will comply best with your theme. Raw wood look should also predominate in the whole affair. Hence, replace the contemporary species with raw wood structures that look unpolished and natural.
Upholstery needs the look
Work further on the upholstery and drapery. Instead of heading for the sophisticated silky fabrics, shop for the jute cotton or pure cotton varieties that bear bold tones. You can work further on your creations by bleaching the colors of the upholstery and sun drying them so that they develop sun kissed look. The color pallet of upholstery is of equal importance too. So, get hold of the primary color palette that comprise of tones such as sand, yellow, orange, rust, etc. Solid color is the perennial choice for such a look. But, if you wish to create interest in it you can settle for the monochromatic classic stripes in broad patterns. It gives a frolicking coastal look to the ambiance.

The ambient lighting
Lighting plays a vital role in creating the right ambiance that complies well with your sun kissed look. So, make it sure that your entire living area is well lighted. But, the color of light reflected from the bulbs you install in the lampshades must be the filament varieties that impart sun kissed yellowish hue all over. This tone of light will complement your wall color and furniture tone perfectly and set up the ambiance you want to achieve. Keep arrangement for lighting in every corner of the room so that there is no dark corner anywhere.
The sun kissed chandelier
