Do you love to travel? Then you can bring that passion into your home décor. There are countless ways to capture the feeling of travel in your own house. In this blog post, I will share a few tips on how to infuse the ambiance of travel into your interior.

Plants and natural materials for the ultimate jungle feel

Do you want to bring the true jungle vibe into your home? Then plants are your best friends. The more green, the better, and the more lively the space feels. Opt for different types and heights, such as large leaf plants, hanging plants, and small cacti, to create a natural atmosphere. Combine these with furniture and accessories made from natural materials like rattan, cotton, bamboo, and wicker. These materials will infuse your interior with a tropical vacation ambiance.

Hammock: your personal vacation spot

Nothing beats a hammock as a symbol of ultimate relaxation and holiday spirit. Whether you hang it indoors or outdoors, a hammock invites you to unwind completely. Close your eyes and dream of that idyllic place you love to visit. A hammock is not only comfortable but also a beautiful eye-catcher that instantly brings vacation vibes into your home!

Colors and prints that bring travel to life

Think of a collection of cushions with various prints: from ethnic patterns to botanical motifs. Want to keep it calm? Choose prints within a similar color palette so that it feels more cohesive. You can also draw inspiration from the colors of your favorite vacation destination. For example, sandy colors combined with terracotta and green evoke the vibe of Bali or azure blue and earthy red combined with white and yellow to bring the Portuguese coast into your home. Below is an example of a colorful palette reminiscent of Marrakech.

Souvenirs and collected memories

Souvenirs are tangible memories of special trips and moments. Think of ceramics, beautiful prints, or wooden figurines. Don’t just keep the standard souvenirs, but also small, meaningful items like train tickets or maps that often contain a story. You can frame these and combine them into a personal collage on the wall. Also, definitely check souvenir racks while traveling. They are easy to carry in your bag or suitcase since they don’t take up much space. The fun part is that your collection can grow over time and remind you of multiple enjoyable vacations.

Travel photos might sound like a cliché, but they really should not be missing from this blog post. For good reason: photos are always an effective way to bring the travel feeling into your home. For a creative effect, mix different styles together. Think of prints on wood or aluminum combined with brightly colored or hand-painted frames. It’s also a lot of fun to print your photos from one destination or multiple vacations in polaroid format. Hang them on a string or combine all the photos together in a large frame.

Food: taste the world at home

You might be thinking: food? Yes, food! By making dishes you learned during your travels or cooked yourself, you can bring the flavors and aromas of distant destinations right into your home. Think of a creamy curry you learned to make in a cooking class in Thailand or Sri Lanka, or those delicious Mexican tacos. A great recommendation for food lovers are the books Lonely Planet Ultimate Eats or World's Best Street Food, which gather famous dishes from around the world. Bon appétit!
