Travel-Inspired Design

May 20, 2019 | Posted in Inspirations, Travel | Share

We’re entering the summer travel season, with Memorial Day coming up quickly.  For fun, here are five interior design images and ideas inspired by wanderlust!

Whitewashed peaked ceiling and floorboards of an attic with a hammock hung in the center. Netting hangs from the bottom of the hammock, while a pillow beckons. Partially stripped, aged painted wallboards adorn the far wall in eggshell blue, off-white with rust, and faded pink, with 2 windows at the center and a desk off to the left side. Above the hammock is hung a small chandelier for that shabby-chic look.

There’s nothing quite like swinging lazily, napping in a hammock. Bring that peaceful feeling to your home, in an attic, basement, or guest bedroom for a delightful surprise.

A sleek dark teak or redwood mid-century modern dresser is adorned with sculpture and a globe, while the walls above feature the ends of vintage suitcases hung as shelving and dressed with sculptures, clocks, and art.

An ingenious way to recall family vacations, by using the ends of vintage suitcases as open shelving. Inexpensive to create – find suitcases at yard sales and simply saw them off, then mount on the wall for instant conversation starters.

A beautiful round sink basin is tiled inside with intricate floral patterns in blue and white. A delicate copper edging counterpoints the colors almost to the top edge, while simple silver taps and a spigot offer hot and cold water.

Does this tiled sink make you long for Morocco? Washing your hands becomes trés cool.

A tan sofa is framed by two taupe throw pillows, spanning the bottom of the image, which sits in front of a wall of oversized passport decals from places such as London, England, Manila, The Philippines, and Auckland, New Zealand, on a creamy living room wall.

Passport stamps applied via wall decals make a great feature wall and inspiration for destinations!

My Dad has the wanderlust bug, and also thousands of these slides from his many journeys. Finally! The perfect way to display his old slides and holiday snaps – or yours!
