In this era of sky-high skyscrapers and smart technologies, our love for travel and exploration has never been greater. Yet, sometimes life and responsibilities restrict us from hopping on a plane for an impromptu adventure.
Fear not, dear travel enthusiasts! Just because you can’t always travel, doesn’t mean you can’t bring the essence of the world to your home.
With simple room makeovers, a travel twist, and a dash of creativity, your abode can be an everyday adventure.

Magnify Your Memories
Your travels should not be restricted to your device's gallery or social media platforms. Magnify your fond memories and personalize your space by incorporating them into your décor.
A great way to do this is through canvas prints. Arrange your favorite travel photographs on a stunning canvas print and hang them prominently in your living room. Not only will it add a dash of color and personality to your space, but it will also serve as a beautiful memory lane that you can walk down daily.
Maps and More

Our world is full of beautiful destinations, and what better way to display them than a unique map?
From vintage maps to modern colorful ones, they can beautifully compliment the aesthetics of your room.
Transform your study or library with a framed world map and some antique globes for a classic touch. Alternatively, take a minimalist approach and decorate a feature wall with a modernistic map, accompanied by some sleek black and white cityscape portraits.
An Eclectic Mix of Furnishings

One of the finest joys of traveling is experiencing different cultures.
The art, architecture, and design styles are as varied as the landscapes. Bring that variety to your home by blending in eclectic pieces of furniture or décor from different cultures.
Maybe a Moroccan rug for the living room, Japanese Shoji Screens as room dividers, or even British Chesterfield couches for that homely vintage look.
Travel-Inspired Accessories

One of the easiest and cost-effective methods to include a travel twist in your room makeover is through accessories.
Be it the vibrant Mexican blankets as throw covers, Turkish lanterns for a cozy corner, or colorful Tibetan prayer flags for a bohemian patio, the options are endless.
Not only do these travel-inspired accessories add a new flavor to your room, but they also narrate an invisible tale of your global adventures.

Ignite your wanderlust with a travel book library. Choose a cozy corner of your room, add a comfy chair, soft ambient lighting, and line your shelves with your collection of travel books, globes, and souvenirs.
Add a larger-than-life cityscape or landscape poster to get an immersive global feel. It is the perfect area to feed your travel dreams and plan the next adventure.
Kitchen Chronicles

A country’s cuisine is an integral part of its culture. By adding some international flair in your kitchen and dining area, you get to taste the world at home! Include ceramics from Spain or Italy, a Dutch oven, or a French press for coffee.
Wall subtitles like ‘The world’s kitchen’ or ‘Gourmet Globetrotter’ can add an extra travel twist.
Vacation-Styled Bedroom

Create a vacation-like ambiance in your bedroom by incorporating elements from your favorite holiday spot. Love the beach? Bring in sea shades, shells, or tropical plants. Smitten by the Alps? Use cool tones, fluffy rugs, and faux fireplace heaters.
