Bamboo chairs, an aquarium and tiki style torches/lamps.
Enjoy!
P.S. I would paint clouds on the blue wall and a shore line. :-)
Throw in a few birds flying in the sky too.
Throw in some green for mountains in the backround, Voila!!
Have fun.

Add a small but functional Tiki Bar and be sure and hang a Jamaican flag ...

I made my living room into a Caribbean theme which is my favorite room in the house. I used bamboo shades on all the windows. Above the windows are wooden toppers (our home is about 80 years old btw) which I covered with a border that has palm trees on it. I used many of our carvings from Jamaica throughout the room as well as many tropical plants. Plenty of candles around as well as a wild, funky leopard/zebra type shade on one of the lamps.
If you have some sarongs from your visits, these make great throws..or you can even buy a cheap artist canvas and cut one of your sarongs and attach it with spray adhesive...and wa..la..... a great piece of art for not much $$$ Money saved is used for more trips to Jamaica!! Have fun with it and let your imagination take you to paradise.

Take a pic of your favorite spot in Jamaica and have a mural made. We are remodling our spar bedroom and had one made. recessing it into the wall. french doors on each side. large porch spindles cut in half painted to look like cement and set in front of the mural to look like you are looking out your private balcony, looking out to the cliffs and sea. I can't wait till its done. The mural is beautiful! When its finished Ill post a pic.

Secure a fishing net to hang across the ceiling...put a few star fish, sea shells, drift wood etc in it.
If you leave one end long so it hangs down one wall or the corner of two walls a foot or two, it adds a nice touch too 
If you frame your pictures with ship port holes, it will really set off the room.
Combine the above with a large salt water aquarium...and BAM, lol, you have a nice start to a beautiful sun room
