You’ve never been one to settle. It’s a big world out there, and you want to see it. And when you’re at home, you want reminders of how far you’ve gone. But you also want tasteful travel decor that goes beyond the typical postcard collection. Here are three ideas to incorporate your wanderlust into your interior decorating.
Maps
Maps are a fantastic way to show off your adventures because they immediately call travel to mind. Better still, you can get creative with them. If you like a classic look, you can display vintage maps of your favorite locations on your wall. If you’re on a budget, you can just buy one (or get one for free) at the information desk or visitor’s center when you pass through. If you want something more artistic, the YOPIN Canvas Wall Art World Map is an excellent option that’s ready to hang.
Photo Gallery
Of course, if you want to display travel photos, you can also incorporate your maps for something original. If you’ve got a city map, you can use pins and string to connect a location with a photo for a unique yet deeply personal display of your travels. Then again, if you’re more of a minimalist, you can go for something simple. If you’ve got Polaroids (or even just printed photos of your travels) you can display them on the wall for a boho photo gallery.
Display Creatively
That said, don’t let yourself be limited by the traditional souvenirs. There are tons of unique travel souvenirs that you can turn into beautiful home decor items with just a short trip to the store. One easy (and Earth-friendly) travel souvenir is…well, earth. Scoop up some earth (dirt, pebbles, sand, shells, etc.) and stash it in a Ziploc bag in your suitcase. Once home, you can display your items in repurposed jars or lamps.
Satisfy Your Wanderlust with Travel Decor
Travel decor isn’t just about your decorating style. It’s about incorporating your memories into your decor. It’s also about starting conversations and taking people on a journey through your eyes.
