You don't have to get too fancy or spend a lot of money and if you are afraid of a bit of color, simply cover the walls in a neutral paint and and play up the color with accents.
How you dress your windows can affect your tropical theme. There are a few window treatments that go with this design style, particularly if you match other fabrics or colors in the room, but you probably want to avoid formal drapery. To have a terrific look in your sitting room consider using tropical themed prints on curtains or simple blinds or valances.
Your flooring needs to match your overall decor, but if new floors aren't in the budget for your sitting room then just cover your floors with area rugs with a tropical look. If you are lucky enough to be able to afford new floors, you might consider tile floors or hardwood.
Good lighting is key in any room in your house and the sitting room is no exception. To go with your tropical style, you might want to pay attention to lighting in terms of both style and type.
