During a four-year stint living and working in St. Kitts, Allison Elebash—an interior designer now based in Mount Pleasant—learned a thing or two about décor with tropical vibes. Here, she dreams up a dining room complete with fresh foliage, coastal artwork, and blossoming textiles. Inside, at least, things are already heating up!

On what inspired this look: ““While living in St. Kitts, I‘d fill my house with banana leaves, bougainvillea, and other greens cut from the garden. Now I bring something green to every room I design, whether it’s a potted fiddle-leaf fig, cut palm leaves, or simple fresh flowers.“”
