Best 5 ways to bring a sense of travel and adventure into your home

There’s something magical about traveling, from the thrill of exploring new places and immersing yourself in different cultures, to creating unforgettable memories. But what happens when the journey ends and you return home?

That magic does not have to fade away.

In fact, there are ways to bring that same sense of adventure into your home. Travel decor can make your home look like a diary of all your adventures, helping you relive and remember them fondly. This is also a great way to share what you have learnt and the cultures you have explored with your guests.

Here are some of the most effective travel decor to recreate that magic:

1. Souvenirs and trinkets

Sometimes the right travel decor are the items you bought while exploring the world.

While you are traveling there are always little knick-knacks that catch your eye. Most of us reach for city-themed magnets and postcards or images of your favorite destination. These items in every corner of your house can feel like a journey through time.

You should not limit yourself to travel decor that does not have a use. A nice vase, for instance, is both art and a holder for flowers.

2. Visual journey

Photographs make for great travel decor.

Framed photographs of your time overseas is the go-to way to dress up your home. This form of travel decor is perhaps the most popular, with good reason. It is the most effortless way to tell your story through your home.

You can also have fun with different kinds of frames, arrangements on the wall as well as on your table surfaces. The sky’s the limit (well, your ceiling is anyway).

If you get a digital frame, you can even have videos of your travels playing. This is a good reminder to live in the moment and record the things you see while abroad.

3. Bring nature indoors with botanical elements

Nature can breathe new life into a space.

One of the joys of traveling is experiencing the beauty of nature in different parts of the world. Adding botanical elements which you have seen on your travels might just be the thing that transports you to more tropical climes.

Before you make a purchase, consult your closest plant expert (or Google) and ensure that you are up to the task of taking care of said plant. Some are certainly easier than others.

4. Travel-inspired additions

Travel-inspired decor can invigorate your space.

If you are inspired by the blue and white buildings in Santorini, for example, inject that same color palette into your space. Choose white furnishings and adorn them with hints of blue, in the form of coasters, carpets, books and art.

Scents are a heady reminder of the places you have been. Incorporate fragrances that are reminiscent of a memorable city or experience with room sprays, candles or diffusers. A single whiff can transport you back to an exciting or happy moment.

You can also choose travel-inspired products which have an engaging story behind them. We would recommend Seek & Swoon’s travel-inspired throws, such as the Kaland Throw, inspired by church roof tiles in Budapest, Hungary.

5. Create a culinary journey with global cuisine

Food is one of the best ways to experience a different culture.

Mind blown by the amazing food you’ve tried during your adventure? Bring a taste of your travels back home by recreating recipes and share it with your loved ones.

If you’re hosting, Seek & Swoon’s throws can double as tablecloths or picnic blankets, adding an extra layer of charm to your dining experience.
