1. Use photo prints in your decoration
Polaroids are back! Photo prints are a great way to bring the special moments and atmosphere of your travels into your home decor. Photo prints are nostalgic yet modern in their reinvention, so it won’t look out of place if you put some around your home. It’s a great excuse to take pictures as happy reminders instead of letting them pile up on your phone. It will make you smile each time you see them while encouraging you to go and make new memories.
2. Choose travel-themed artwork
The famous interior designer Nate Berkus said, “Your home should tell the story of who you are, and be a collection of what you love.” We love this quote and couldn’t agree more! If you define yourself as a traveler, let it shine through your home. Not just as a way to show who you are, but also as a way for you to feel more comfortable and inspired in your own home.
And don’t stop there – inspirational quotes related to travel, globes, maps, travel guides – everything that conjures the feeling of going on a new adventure is a great decoration option that will fuel your passion to pursue those dreams.
3. Suitcases are always a great option
We can’t talk about travel-related items without talking about suitcases. Apart from their primary function, suitcases can be great decoration items, especially antique-looking ones. A retro suitcase will add a cinematic and romantic touch to your decor. Not to mention it obviously doubles as functional storage space!
4. Get graphic with your city maps
Have you ever noticed the design of city maps? They’re colorful, have famous city icons, and great logos and typography. Instead of discarding them, why not save them, frame them and make a wall gallery out of them? They’re not only unique home décor, but they also act as special mementos of places you’ve visited.
5. Collect travel books
Travel books will transport you back to your favorite destinations or give you the gumption to plan that next adventure. Great travel books have amazing photos so that you recall these places at their best. We all know art books are often used as coffee table books and to adorn our bookshelves, so make it your personal preference and collect travel books.
6. Homewares from abroad
Collecting artisan goods when you’re traveling is a particular joy that travelers relish. From hand-crafted ceramics, to cushion covers, these goods can become some of your most special and prized possessions. This is because they’re more than just material things, they hold the memories and stories of the day were bought on that trip.
Don’t buy cheap knockoffs by asking locals where to buy authentic, hand-crafted goods and how much you should be paying, so you avoid getting ripped off as a tourist.
7. Keep some postcards for you
We believe there is a romantic vibe to postcards. They are indeed reminiscent of another time but to this day they are ubiquitous, light, and a cheap souvenir you can collect while traveling. Once you’re home, simply string up a postcard collection up with some twine and wooden pegs as a simple way to fill your house with travel mementos!
