Incorporating Roatan Into Your Custom Home

This impression can be used as inspiration when designing their custom home. Whether that home is built on Roatan or back in the US/Canada. So how can you incorporate Roatan’s atmosphere into your home?

Remember What Island Living Is All About

Think windows for air flow, comfortable furniture for lazing, and warm, soft lighting. The accessories and overall style of your  home should evoke a feeling of casual luxury; whisking you away to an island in a warm climate.

Install Exposed Beams

Many tropical homes and buildings feature tall vaulted ceilings – often showcasing wooden beams beneath their palm ladden roofs. This aesthetic can be assimilated into your own custom home, with a contemporary twist. Maintain the high ceiling, but opt for a flat surface featuring exposed wooden beams built with Roatan Mahogany. You can even use Roatan’s Mahogany or Teak to fully Not only will this add depth and detail to your home, but will cause the interior to appear both spacious and serene.

Hard Flooring Is Essential

Whether you enjoy marble, tile, or hardwood – solid flooring is essential to the tropical home style. Accent or area rugs can be incorporated to add both design and comfort, while the flooring itself brings the surrounding nature inside. This integration of the indoor-outdoor environment is a pillar in tropical homes.

Other Details To Consider

Choose an Experienced Team

It goes without saying, but selecting the appropriate team of experienced architects and builders is vital to achieving your dream luxury custom home.
