5 ΤRAVEL-INSPIRED DECO IDEAS

Is a simple piece of decoration in your living room enough to mentally "travel" you around the world, even when you're simply laying on your couch? Or make you dream of faraway lands the moment you open your eyes in your bed? But of course! Let me just show you how.

Travel tips are fine, destination hints are great but what happens if your next trip seems like a distant dream? Well, you don't need to worry since there are a ton of travel-themed ideas that will completely transform the home you live in. Make sure to not overdo it though - a single piece or two are more than enough to create a cozy, travelicious atmosphere.

More importantly, you can do it without spending a fortune; look out for those old, vintage objects your grandma used to have; the pictures you've taken on that high school field trip years ago. Anything travel-inspired should do the trick!

#1. THE GLORIOUS MAP

Maps are the easiest way to turn your bedroom or living room into the land of dreamy explorations you always imagined. Place yor map on the wall over your sofa, use it as your very own "welcome sign" to those checking-in at your house or if you prefer, right above your bed. And, well, it goes without saying that this is an awesome idea.

#2. THE GRANDMA'S SUITCASE

Old, leather-and-canvas bags are absolutely my FAVORITE piece of decoration! Use them as an entrance table (by putting some casters underneath it), as book storage, as a nightstand by your bed, coffee table in your living room, as a drawer (by piling more than one), or you can step up your game and transform them into fancy armchairs to decorate your travel-themed living room. Suitcases make a great decoration piece as they offer multiple uses and plus, they are the best travel inspiration!

Maybe start looking for that old grandma's suitcase?

#3. TRAVEL GALLERY WALL

For this specific idea, you will have to simply print either your photos from past trips or your favorite travel quotes, frame them and dedicate a special corner on the wall to display them, creating your very own travel gallery. Use maps, quotes, photos and ANYTHING that inspires you and makes you dream of traveling. As simple as that.

#4. ALL THINGS GLOBES

A spinning globe makes a great 'lift-me-up' object for those evenings you feel a bit stressed and depressed. Extra credit for a decorated, sparkly one that will manage to, one, magically transform your place and two, to cheer you up and get you to start planning fun trips around the world!

#5. THE PILLOW FLIGHTS

No, no - no pillow fights. These pillows are made for pillow FLIGHTS! Forget the monochromatic, boring old pillows and choose yours covered with adventurous quotes and maps. Go for all kinds of colours and shapes regardless of the hues of your living room - they are pieces meant to make a statement of their own.
