The pronounced lightness of the Mediterranean-Caribbean lifestyle is characteristic for the "Tropical Influences" style group, dominated by airy, light-flowing fabrics in warm, earthy colors. "Tropical Influences" combines four styles. Simple, solid furniture and wrought iron lamps characterize the Tuscan style. Painted utility objects and ceramic art pieces lend color and life to the room. Windows are decorated with colorful fabrics. Fine materials like silk, brocade and damask set contrasts to the otherwise simple country-style atmosphere. The "Spanish Hacienda" style is similarly rustic-austere. Raw materials like wood, iron and whetted stone, combined with cotton, leather and terra cotta, are the preferred elements in this décor. Hand-painted tiles decorate walls and floor. Radiant fabrics contrast with the more neutral furniture.
