4. White & Gold French Fireplace

Minimalistic is the key word for achieving French-style decor. Although it “looks” expensive, we can totally fake it with these Amazon finds, right?

While it may seem difficult to create that crisp and effortless Parisian apartment aesthetic, it’s very simple. Find a few statement pieces like this gold mirror or white statue and complement them with smaller details.

20 Travel-Inspired Decorating Ideas to Evoke Your Favorite Destination

Showcase globes, maps, suitcases, and other accessories from your travels throughout your home.

Andrea Beck served as garden editor at BHG and her work has appeared on Food & Wine, Martha Stewart, MyRecipes, and more.

Most everyone has souvenirs from their travels, whether it’s shells from the beach, novelty T-shirts, or even just plenty of photos. Luckily, there are plenty of both subtle and bold ways to incorporate your love for travel into your home.

Hanging photos is simple, but you can also turn them into a statement by creating a gallery wall or even unique wallpaper. Or use photos of places you dream of going, maps, or subway routes for more graphic, abstract art. Small touches can also add elements of travel to your home. Vintage suitcases come in many colors and can be displayed to add extra storage or serve as an end table. Use these travel decor ideas as inspiration, then adapt them to fit your favorite places and trips.

Seashell Display

Cameron Sadeghpour

Large seashells from a beach vacation double as tabletop travel decor and as a way to display Polaroids. Smaller shells can also nest inside a larger shell as a way to show them off on a shelf or table. Place them next to a blue glass lamp reminiscent of sea glass to tie the coastal theme into the rest of the room.

Abstract Travel Wall Decor

Adam Albright

City maps make stunning travel wall decor and are a great way to remember some of your favorite (or dream) destinations. These pictures lean abstract, using the city streets to create a leaf-like design. The shades of green used on each map complement dark green wall paint .

Subtle Travel Decor

Ann VanderWiel Wilde

Small accents can help show your love for a destination without dominating a room. In this alcove, a simple metal sign shaped like the state of Minnesota hangs above a rustic dresser with other memorabilia. This travel wall decor fits into almost any room and can take the shape of a favorite country or city skyline.

Map Wall Art

Using maps as wall decor is an easy way to incorporate graphic art in muted pastel colors. Despite varying color palettes, this trio of maps feels cohesive thanks to neutral frames with white mats. Bold navy walls help further showcase the travel decor.

Suitcase Bar Cart

Cocktails (or zero-proof drinks ) can definitely be part of a great vacation, so it’s only natural to incorporate travel decor into your home bar cart . A vintage suitcase is the focal point of this bar cart and acts as unique storage for a variety of bottles and bar tools. Antique drawers contain glassware and match the feel of the old-fashioned suitcase.

Seashell Storage

Brie Williams

Seashells are a popular beach souvenir, but finding a place to store them can be tricky. These embellished boxes are a beautiful way to display shells . Each box features a mosaic of shells while also providing storage on a living room mantel . Complete the look with other ocean souvenirs, like driftwood or sea glass, and vases and artwork with blue accents.

Entryway Travel Decor

David A Land

Display travel decor in your home’s entryway for a reminder of your favorite destinations every time you walk in the door. This console table includes a travel bag that's ready to be grabbed for any adventure. Houseplants also help give the space a tropical feel, and the tabletop provides a surface to display travel photos.

Travel Wallpaper

In addition to small accents, you can also add travel decor to your home on a larger scale. World maps paper the walls of this bedroom . The muted colors complement natural wood furniture and blue accents on the bed. The wallpaper contributes eye-catching texture without overwhelming the space.

Showcase Souvenirs

KIM CORNELISON

This living room features several souvenirs that work together in a subtle way. A gallery wall incorporates map artwork; its bright colors and abstract shapes coordinate with a globe perched on top of a bookcase. A bright blue vintage suitcase on one shelf nods to vacationing and pairs well with the navy velvet sofa .

Historical Wall Decor

Alisal Ranch

These large-scale framed maps act almost as an accent wall in this dining space. It includes historical boundaries and territory lines from the early days of the U.S., and its rustic appearance matches the wood-plank wall and vintage chairs. A large map can also serve as a way of tracking your travels across the country.

Bookshelf Display

If you enjoy collecting art on your travels, display them together on a shelf to blend souvenirs with your personal style. This bookcase includes a variety of vases, figurines, and sculptures from a variety of destinations. Natural materials like wood and earthy colors tie everything together.

Mural Accent Wall

John Bessler

Large-scale wallpaper prints can be overwhelming, but using them on an accent wall is a stylish way to add a bold pattern to a room. This living room has a tropical feel thanks to the blue and green mural of palm trees. The colors tie in with the area rug, and the graphic print contrasts the black-and-white striped seating.

Vibrant Color Palette

Dustin Halleck

The rich jewel tones of this library create a luxurious feeling. Stacked vintage suitcases serve as an end table while matching a floral rug and dark cobalt walls. Shelves near the seating area provide an opportunity to display travel souvenirs like prints, decorative boxes, and figurines.

Surfing Inspiration

Chad R. Mellon

Add a nod to the beach without displaying shells or pictures of the coast. Instead, hang a surfboard patterned with typography for a sunny, ocean vibe that upgrades a blank wall. Pair with a wood vanity and blue bathroom floor tiles for a casual coastal aesthetic.

Photo Wall Treatment

A repeating pattern of coastal photos creates a bold but still neutral wallpaper in this bedroom. Customize walls with your own photos, or find a print that features professional photos from a dream destination. Pair with a blue painted ceiling and geometric light fixture to turn the room into a beachy paradise.

Coastal Travel Decor

Bring the beach to a small area of your home. In this room, seashells and starfish are displayed alongside ceramics featuring shades of blue. The seaside collection and cool colors help bring a coastal feel to a section of the room where dishes and serving platters are stored.

DIY Nightstand

CARSON DOWNING

Vintage suitcases take on a new function with this DIY bedroom decor. Stack three on top of each other to create just the right height for a nightstand next to the bed . Pair with a lampshade patterned with a map of the country to really highlight a travel theme.

Tropical Decor

Carson Downing

Large-scale botanical wallpaper creates a tropical aesthetic in this bedroom. The print complements green painted flooring and a leafy bedspread. Natural accents, including a woven leather headboard and rattan side table, make this room feel like a tropical destination.

Decorate with Globes

Kritsada Panichgul.

Go all-out with travel decor with a shelf full of globes. Here, the globes feature similar colors and are grouped by size for a cohesive look. Instead of buying new globes, shop secondhand or thrift stores for vintage varieties.

Dining Room Souvenir Display

Several decor items work together to create travel-inspired style in this dining room . A large print of a beach scene provides seaside inspiration, while a large shell and a piece of driftwood act as centerpieces for the table and credenza. A pendant light with natural fibers completes the look.

MOVA Solar-Powered Globes

I am in love with the solar-powered globes from MOVA . We first spotted them spinning in a window display in a shop in Venice, Italy. We assumed they were spinning because of their base so were surprised when the shopkeeper put them in our hands and they kept spinning!

In addition to world maps, they also sell ones depicting planets, the moon, artwork, and sports teams. They come in a variety of color schemes with several base options.

The companies sells their globes both on the MOVA website and on Amazon . Just be sure to buy them from an authorized site and register them once you receive them to benefit from the warranty.

We have a  set of these personalized coasters that include the places where we met, our first road trip, where we got engaged, where we got married, and our first home together!

This wonderful cork map of the United States with engraved geographical details is an ideal centerpiece for a travel lover’s dorm wall where you can pin photos, reminders, or chart your road trips! The cork map measures 21″ tall by 34″ wide and is made with heavy duty 1/2″ thick corkboard, so it is really built to last.

Check out Nick’s full store for more minimalist geography related items at Geo 101 Design .

Beer Cap World Map 

For those of legal drinking age, this beer cap world map is a fun way to play Around the World in 80 Beers and helps encourage you to try new beers. The printed map is covered with high quality laminate and a foil layer and has a total of 80 blank circles (40 on top and 40 on bottom) that are used to stick on beer caps. It includes a magnifier to help find the smaller countries and islands, a scratcher to help remove the foil level, and 80 sticky squares to attach the beer caps to the map.

We started off our map with a beer from the oldest operating brewery in the United States (Yuengling in Pennsylvania in case you were wondering!). I also gave this as a gift to my younger brother.

A great gift for any beer drinker or a fun item to have at a craft beer party! See more at Rita’s store, MapFever .

World Map LED Candle Holder

This world map candle holder is the perfect decor for a university dorm room as most universities do not allow real candles since they are a fire hazard. This one can be purchased with a LED pillar candle that flickers like a real one. The candle holders are made from steel tubing or pipe with a world map cut out and come in several colors and finishes.

The decorative candle holders has no bottom so it can easily slide over LED votive candles or wine bottles. Bela has over 300 creative designs and you can see them all over in her store Tube Torcher .

Other Travel Themed Home Decoration Items

We could go on and on with amazing travel inspired home decorations out there, but we’ll control ourselves and end with a few more that don’t quite fit into any specific room. If you haven’t found what you are looking for quite yet, perhaps these final few travel themed home decorating ideas will ignite a spark.

Switchplate covers

The unique decorative switchplate covers are created and assembled by hand, using laminated images affixed to durable steel plates. This one is of a steam engine train on a blue retro background. This design, like all the shop’s designs, are available in 30 different types of plate configuration to cover any light switch, electrical outlet, or telephone or data jack on your wall.

Sheree offers more than 1,000 unique designs which cater to virtually any taste, ranging from bold to subtle, from classic to off-beat. See her store for more inspiration.

Luminary Bags

We love these luminary bags as they remind us of luminaria in New Mexico which are a traditional holiday decoration around Christmas. The use of paper maps, the customized cut-out shapes, and stenciled on designs really make these stand out from any other luminaries we’ve seen. These can be used inside or outside with LED candles. 

There are different sizes and customization options available for any of Suzie’s luminary bags. Check out more creative designs in her shop Olden Designs .

Vintage Luggage Label Stickers

This set of 30 reproduction retro luggage label stickers advertising hotels, ships, and travel agencies that have been professionally retouched and printed on high gloss, water-resistant self-adhesive paper. These stickers are an inexpensive way to add a retro feel to any travel-related DIY project.

I am a bit obsessed with vintage luggage and vintage luggage labels so I was drawn to these immediately. We use these to decorate our vintage looking luggage and to also stick on the back of our laptops as we decorate them with stickers we get from our travels, so these are a perfect addition! 

Ben also creates and sell a number of other vintage inspired printed items including tote bags, magnets, posters, and wall prints. See more at his store BvdB Design .

Travel Fund Jar

We love that the world map money jar serves both a functional purpose (place to throw loose change) and a decorative one. This 1-gallon jug is made of thick, durable glass with a black plastic screw cap. The world map design has been added to the jar and is made of high quality matte black vinyl.

The product is made of high quality materials and the hole on top is big enough for any type of coin we tried. Unlike many other money storage containers, the coins were fairly easy to remove from the jar.

 A great place to keep your spare change to save up for your next adventure. A smaller 1/2 gallon world map jar is also available for those wanting something smaller. See more at Renee’s store All Sales Are Vinyl .

World Map Wall Clock

This unique modern world map wall clock is a great fit for any room of the house! The 10″ clock includes a backside hook for easy hanging and requires a AA battery to operate. It is available in 3 colors and you can also change the color of the clock hands.

All items are made to order at Lanre Studio. The world map design is also available to be printed on a mug, pillow, art print, and duvet cover. You can see their full list of products here .

Ireland Inspired Flower Pot

This Ireland inspired shamrock flower pot i s made of ceramic and is then decorated using transfer printing and low VOC chalk paint. it contains an Irish verse. Pot is covered in UV protectant and 3 coats of matte water sealant. Pots can be used indoors or outdoors. They come in various sizes and the designs change regularly.

Katie made a number of beautiful handmade planting plots, many of which are inspired by the Emerald Isle. She can also do custom designs. You can see her current designs available in her shop Summer Bird Design .

RV USA State Decal

Have you ever considered tracking how many states have you been to with your campervan, RV, or travel trailer? This high quality outdoor vinyl USA State Decal allows you to keep track and proudly display your adventures for the whole campground to see!

These decals are an automatic conversation starter for when you’re unhooking and the neighbors walk by. There are a lot of other vehicle decals as well as lots of travel inspired home decor you can check out over at the Conquest Maps store.

Wooden Antique Map Wall Clock

This antique style sublime clock depicts a 17th century map that is printed on the wooden face of the clock. It also features silent quartz mechanisms. It is available in 8 sizes. Customization is possible.

If you are looking for something a little different, the team at The Big Clock Store have very unique clock styles (over 500!), so you can pick the size and style that best fits your room and décor.

World Map Sticker Decal

You can add this explore world map sticker to your laptop, notebook, skateboard, fridge, lunch box, bedroom door, or mirror to inspire you to go on more adventures every time you see it! The sticker is 3.8″ W x 3.1″ H and is coated in a scratch and weather resistant glossy vinyl.

Amanda has a selection of travel inspired products over in her store Forget Sunday Drives .

Airplane Doormat

This airplane doormat is the perfect welcome mat for any travel lover! Each doormat is made of coconut fibers and the design is hand painted by the shop owner with outdoor paint. It is spray sealed with a clear coat of UV resistant spray paint and backed with vinyl. The doormat measures at 18” x 30” and can be used inside or outside your door.

Sarah offers a wide range of funny and cute original doormat designs. She can also create a custom design if you have an idea for a unique doormat. You can see all of her available designs in her store .

Love all these items featured especially the lamps and cushions by Kelly Stevens-McLaughlan. If I were to pick one item out from all of these sellers, it would be the baby mobile

I love traveling as much as I love handmade products! So whenever I travel, I make sure that I get to purchase handcrafts especially those made by local community artisans. There is just one time, I went to Chiang Mai in Thailand, I never had the chance to actually buy my souvenir, but thankfully I found a store called localbazaar who sells handmade crafts from Chiang Mai!

July 13, 2018 at 9:44 am

Hi Ruth, Yes, handmade travel products make for great souvenirs. If you don’t pick up something while traveling, you can always seem to find something online out there 😉 Best, Jessica

I’ve always wanted to travel the world as a kid my dream job was to be a doctor overseas. I’m a bit sad that I’ve never ventured outside of the United States. My favorite is definitely the book safe! I’ve always wanted a hollow book. My mandatory entry I hit too soon it was 17, 15, and 7. Hope I can still be entered.

This post is so much fun!!! We actually own 2 of these… the map pin boards (which we got one year for our girls) and the scratch off map (which my daughter got for my husband). We always had fun moving the pin to our “next planned destination.” My husband loves maps, and these are terrific gifts. I recently received coasters from a friend that have outlines of areas in the city where we both used to live. I loved it… these are perfect gifts for the traveler in your life!

Travel Themed Home Decor: 50 Ways To Bring Travel Into Your Home

So while I haven’t been able to travel recently, I’ve been looking into ways I can bring travel to me instead. Lockdown has been the ideal opportunity for me to do some decorating around the house and incorporate more travel themed home decor into each room. I’ve found some fantastic gems while I’ve been searching, so in this post, I will share my 50 favourite travel themed home decor pieces.

This post contains affiliate links, which means I may receive a small commission, at no cost to you, if you make a purchase through a link. Find out more  here .

Travel Themed Home Decor

Over the last few months, while we’ve been in lockdown, I’ve seen A LOT of my home. At this stage, it’s pretty much the only place I’ve seen in 4 months! I love my house, but spending so much time in it has encouraged me to shake things up a little!

I was recently feeling a longing to be travel again, but while that’s still an impossibility, I wanted to explore ways I could bring travel to my home instead. I went in search of some beautiful travel themed home decor inspiration and I was in awe of how many beautiful pieces I found! I wanted to share with you 50 of my favourite finds so you can bring a little adventure to your own home!

Travel Themed Home Decor: Wall Art

Wall art is a really easy way you can breathe new life into a corner of your home. It is often surprising how much of a difference a new picture can make! Here are 10 stunning wall art pieces that will satisfy your wanderlust without needing to leave your home!

Palm Tree Print Trio

So, for anyone who follows Get Lost on Instagram , you’ll know about my crazy obsession with palm trees (prepare yourself for plenty in this post!) The second I saw this trio of Palm Tree Prints , I instantly fell in love with the colours and the dramatic look. Personally, I don’t think anything screams ‘vacation’ louder than palm trees!

Personalised Suitcase Print

I’m always a huge fan of personalised prints, whether it is for my own home or for a gift. This Personalised Suitcase Print is perfect for any travel-lover, even if that means it is a treat for yourself! I love finding ways of capturing my travel memories and the personalised tags on the suitcases in this print are a great way to incorporate those special trips into your home.

MWC Studio Photo Prints

Ok, so I’m a little biased on this one, but did you know that you can buy Get Lost photo prints? We’ve partnered with MWC Studio to release 5 exclusive photo prints or digital downloads so you can hang a little bit of Get Lost in your home! One of my personal favourites is my Windermere photo print as it perfectly captured the dramatic English weather we encountered on the day!

MWC Studio works with a whole host of female travel bloggers and creators to build an amazing female-lead creative community. There are some wonderful prints to choose from across the travel community besides my prints. I personally love the Dreaming of Positano print and the Fichi d’India , which are both stunning!

Geometric World Map

I first saw this Geometric World Map on Pinterest and I knew I had to have it! It has been hanging on my wall for some time now, but my aim is to print some of my photographs to hang around it. I took my inspiration from this pin , I’m just having a hard time choosing my pictures!

Famous Cities Modern Wall Art

If you’re looking for artwork that is a little more modern and abstract, how about this famous cities modern wall art ? I love the simplistic look but at the same time the destinations are instantly recognisable! After visiting Los Angeles , I’m a little bit in love with the Hollywood design .

New York Art Prints

New York photography always has a special place in my heart. It was photographs of the city that inspired me to pursue photography and travel photography specifically. I absolutely adore this set of three New York travel posters , which capture the iconic architecture of New York and let you enjoy it from the comfort of your own home.

Blush City Prints

I’ll let you into a secret…my favourite colour is pink! The second I saw these blush city prints I fell in love with them because they are pink and girly and everything that I love! Better yet, these prints can be personalised so your name appears as the shop name…I’m sold!

Liberty of London Art

No visit to London is complete without a stop at Liberty of London . The building is simply beautiful and so iconic. I really love the modern take and vibrant colours of this Liberty of London Artwork , which still captures the iconic appearance, but gives it a fun and colourful vibe that can instantly brighten up any home!

Coastal Art Print Digital Download

Something about the pastel tones of these coastal digital download prints really stood out to me and I couldn’t shake them from my mind. I typically opt for vibrant artwork, but these images are so dreamy and perfectly capture the relaxing beach atmosphere. I’d happily stare at them for hours dreaming of blue skies and sandy beaches!

To Travel Is To Live Artwork

For the final piece of travel themed wall art, I couldn’t omit this stunning To Travel Is To Live artwork . I love the colourful flowers making up the globe and I think this message rings true for anyone who loves to travel. For me, this is a beautiful reminder of all of the exciting travel adventures that are ahead when we are able to travel again.

Travel Themed Home Decor: Soft Furnishings

Another really easy way to incorporate travel themed home decor into your room is using some soft furnishings. Cushions, throws and rugs come in all kinds of designs and colours to suit any room and can add a discreet nod to your love for travel. Here are 10 of my favourite travel inspire soft furnishing products.

London Cushion

I really like the simplicity of this London cushion . The neutral cream background and range of coloured landmarks means it will fit with the decor in most rooms without looking out of place. It’s a great piece that captures the impressive architecture of England’s capital and lets you enjoy it in your house.

Mountain Cushions

If like me, you’re a bit of an adventurer, these mountain cushions are perfect! I think they’re really unique and so eyecatching…they’d be a great conversation starter when you’re entertaining! The grey-tones means these can seamlessly fit into any room and would be a great addition to any sofa, bed or nursery!

Wanderlust Pillowcase

If you’re looking for a simple way to bring some travel themed decor into your home, this wanderlust pillowcase is perfect. The watercolour-style effect of the continents is really delicate. It’s a really simple but pretty addition to any room to highlight your passion!

Escape The Ordinary Cushion

If you like the outdoor or camping, this Escape The Ordinary Cushion is a really cute addition to your home. I think the natural look of the linen is a great fit for the outdoors theme and would look great in any room. I have an armchair that is calling out for this cushion!

NYC Subway Map Blanket

Despite the fact I own a huge collection of throw blankets, I still fell for this NYC Subway Map Blanket . In fairness, with the unpredictability of UK weather, I do often keep a blanket to hand for when evenings get chilly. I find subway maps fascinating as they outline a whole other city beneath the city, and this New York blanket looks extra cosy!

Moroccan Floor Pouf

I’ve recently been reading a lot of blog posts about Morocco and it has definitely jumped up several places on my bucket list. I love the vibrant colours and artisan culture and I think this Moroccan Floor Pouf perfectly captures that. I might not be able to visit Morocco right now, but I can bring a little bit of Morocco to me instead!

Turkish Towels

Since looking into eco-friendly bathroom alternatives , Turkish Towels seem to be cropping up everywhere! Made from premium Turkish cotton, everyone seems to be raving about these super soft and absorbent towels. I love the geometric patterns you typically find on Turkish towels and I think they’re a brilliant addition to any travel lover’s bathroom!

London Bus Double Decker Cushion

To be honest, I’m not really sure I have to say anything about these, do I? How cute are these sweet London cushions? I absolutely adore the London Double Decker Bus Cushion , but if you fancy you can treat yourself to the whole collection which features Big Ben , a black cab , or red telephone box !

Guatemalan Huipil Pillow Case

I’ve recently become a bit obsessed with Guatemalan embroidery. The designs are stunning and the colours are so vibrant, which is why I love this Guatemalan Huipil Pillow Case . This design would make a bold statement in any room!

Barcelona Tea Towel

The final soft furnishing treasure I wanted to share was this pretty Barcelona Tea Towel . It’s no secret that I love Gaudi’s architecture , which is the icon of Barcelona for me, and I instantly loved this adorable design featuring his work. If another city takes your fancy, there are other designs available including London , Amsterdam and Paris .

Travel Themed Home Decor: Candles

One of the things we rarely notice about destinations when we visit is the scent of the place. It’s surprising though how much you can associate a place with a specific aroma. Here are 10 destination scented candles that perfectly capture the uniqueness of their destinations, so you can close your eyes and pretend you are there!

Apotikology Sea Air Candle

In all honesty, I’m not much of a beach bum. I love to visit the coast but I like to be busy and I just can’t sit still and relax, so I didn’t know what to expect for this Sea Air scented candle . The scent is fresh, clean and definitely reminiscent of a walk along the seafront. I was surprised by how much I love this scent!

After falling in love with Sea Air, I’m also keen to try out the fruity Spanish Orange sent and the floral English Lavender to evoke even more travel memories!

MiloCandles Magical Candles

If you’re a Disney fan, you need to check out the Magical Candles by MiloCandles. I bought the Main Street Confectionary candle and loved it so much, I went back and ordered the Haunted Mansion and Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe too! They perfectly capture the magical scents of the Disney parks!

What I also love about these candles is the fact that they come in a really sturdy box. These candles are really well presented and will make great gifts. You can also get the scents as wax melts too.

Smells Like Wonderland Teacup Candles

Being honest, these teacup candles are possibly the cutest candles I’ve ever seen! To me, a cup of tea is the British icon and these charming cups and saucers are the epitome of afternoon tea. Also, the half-dunked custard cream is adorable!

The teacups come in a range of designs and scents. The version I bought was scented with Chanel No. 5, which reminds me of sunny afternoons exploring grand stately homes! Also, once you’ve used the candle you can clean the teacup out and use it for your own afternoon tea!

Nubble Light New England Bookshop Candle

I’m a bookworm and visiting bookstores on my travels is something I love to do. Although I’ve not visited New England, this New England Bookshop candle couldn’t be any more perfect for me! The ‘old books, wood and coastal charm’ scent is reminiscent of my trips to the coastal town of Whitby in Yorkshire but has also encouraged me to add New England to my bucket list!

English Wildflower Candle

English wildflowers always remind me of my visit to the Shakespeare Houses in Stratford-Upon-Avon . This pretty English Wildflower candle includes hand-picked wildflowers in the candle itself. Not only does it look pretty but it smells amazing!

The Kentucky Colonel Candle

I have to be honest, The Kentucky Colonel candle intrigued me more than anything else! This Kentucky Bourbon and Fine Cigar scented candle is a best seller! The unique scent is a nod to its creators home state, and the label is simply beautiful!

Candle Affair Elephant Sunset Candle

If you’re looking for a candle with visual impact, this Elephant Sunset candle is ideal. It is scented sweet orange essential oils and the burning orange tones transport you to sub-Saharan Africa.

Happy Camper Candle

If you love camping, the Happy Camper candle is a great way to bring the outdoors into your home! This candle is described as boasting warm and sweet scents from fallen leaves and sun-warmed pine trees. This dreamy scent is a great way to escape without leaving your house!

Aloha Kakahiaka Hawaii Candle

This Aloha Kakahiaka Hawaii inspired candle is specifically designed to evoke memories of Hawaii. It is scented with vibrant Hawaiian fruits and flowers to perfectly replicate the scents of the state. In fact, ChiCandles have designed a unique scent for each of the 50 states so you can travel through the USA one candle at a time!

New York Thunderstorm Candle

While we’re exploring the USA by candles, this New York Thunderstorm Candle comes highly rated. Although I’ve visited the Big Apple before, I’ve never experienced a New York thunderstorm. Based on the reviews though, the scent of this candle perfectly captures the unique aroma of the city following a storm.

Travel Themed Home Decor: Dining

Travel is not only a great way to see new places and to explore new cultures, but it is also a great way to try new food! There are some great travel themed home decor dining products available. Here are 10 of my favourites to add a little travel flavour to my dining.

Palm Leaf Placemats

Unsurprisingly, I’ve found more palm trees! These Palm Leaf Placemats are tropical and summery and are great for garden entertaining. I like switching out my placemats to match the season and these are my new summer favourites!

Why not finish the look with the matching coaster set ?

Japanese Teapot

Although I often associate tea with British travel, it is also a huge part of Japanese culture. This Japanese Teapot wouldn’t look out of place in any modern kitchen while managing to retain the traditional Japanese charm. It’s a great way of enjoying an authentic taste of Japan from your own home.

Japanese Teacup

Of course, you couldn’t enjoy Japanese tea without a Japanese teacup. This sweet Kintsugi Teacup celebrates the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery. It is a beautiful piece alone, but I think it complements the teapot beautifully for a unique set.

Aloha Beaches Mug

I don’t know about you, but I’m often dreaming about tropical beaches while drinking my morning coffee! This cheeky Aloha Beaches Mug perfectly captures those Monday morning vibes. It certainly makes those grey UK days a little bit brighter!

Barcelona Edition Tumbler

I really love colourful drinkware and this Barcelona Edition Glass Tumbler really hits the mark! It is clear to see from the first glance that it takes inspiration from the vibrant colours and unique shapes in Gaudi’s mosaic architecture. It is another perfect party piece to wow your guests and is a great talking point to open up those travel stories!

London Glass Charms

Speaking of parties, as we can at least start interacting with friends and families at a suitable social distance, it is a great excuse to revamp out entertaining supplies. These London Glass Charms are a fantastic way of ensuring no one gets their drinks mixed up! They also capture some of those iconic London landmarks such as Big Ben and those famous London buses!

Coconut Bowls

Admittedly, I was a little late to joining the smoothie bowl train. But as soon as I discovered it, I invested in a beautiful set of coconut bowls . These bowls are made from actual coconuts that have been sanded down to a smooth finish.

The bowls are really lightweight and are just a really fun piece. They have such a tropical vibe and I can at least pretend I’m somewhere exotic!

Tunisian Tagine

In my opinion, every kitchen needs a beautiful Tunisian Tagine like these from Follow The Dunes . I’ve seen some fantastic blog posts recently with some brilliant tagine recipes, which has inspired me to look into more tagine cooking. Not only are they practical, but they also look stunning in your kitchen!

French Bread Basket

One of my favourite things to do in Paris is to visit patisseries and look at the stunning cakes and fresh baked goods. I’ve recently discovered you can recreate this at home with a French Bread Basket . If you are into baking or are just looking for some kitchen storage, this wonderful bread basket can give any kitchen a rustic feel.

Hawaii Embossing Rolling Pin

I couldn’t resist including this adorable Hawaii Embossing Rolling Pin in this list! I love baking and this cute rolling pin allows me to combine this with my passion for travel. The tropical pattern is so reminiscent of Hawaii and is an easy way of spicing up your baking!

Travel Themed Home Decor: Finishing Touches

Finally, I wanted to share some of my favourite travel themed home decor finishing touches. These are those little final details that add a lot of impact to the room. Even the smallest item can reflect your travel passion!

Turkish Floor Lamp

Firstly, how stunning is this Turkish Floor Lamp ? This striking piece can easily bring a bohemian vibe to any room. Combined with a boho rug and colourful cushions, you can transport yourself to Turkey in an instant!

Needle Felted Cactus

As much as I love palm trees, I’m also a cactus lover! I’ve always had a tiny cactus at home, but I was awe-struck by the huge cacti in the desert on the drive between Las Vegas and LA. This sweet little Needle Felted Cactus is a great way of reliving that journey at home and it is simply adorable!

Palm Tree Candle Stick Holder

Speaking of palm trees, how amazing are these Palm Tree Candle Stick Holders ? I think these are a fantastic addition to liven up a dining table or sideboard. I also love them with the hot pink candles in them – they look so much fun!

Palm Tree Hooks

And more palm trees – sorry not sorry! These palm tree hooks are fantastic for your kitchen or bathroom to hook your towels onto. I think I might end up with these in every room in the house!

Shell Trinket Dish

If you want to bring a little bit of the beach to your home, how about a shell trinket dish ? These striking dishes have an obvious coastal theme while using a little bit of coloured resin to give them a unique feel. They’re a great way of storing little treasures and look great in the bedroom or bathroom.

Personalised Keepsake Box

I’m one of those people who has a weird obsession with storage. I like everything to have its own place and this personalised travel keepsake box is a great way to store treasured travel memories. Because of its design, you can pop it onto a table or shelf and it is decorative as well as practical!

Campervan Birdhouse

Home decor isn’t specific to the inside of your house, you can include some travel elements into your garden too. This adorable campervan birdhouse would look fantastic hanging from a tree or porch. What a great way to create a holiday home for nature while celebrating an epic road trip icon!

Wooden Caravan

In my family, I have a lot of caravan lovers, so I always like to find unique caravan themed gifts. This cute little wooden caravan is an adorable little ornament to stand on a shelf at home. The yellow pastel tone has a distinctly summery feel to it!

Map Bunting

Bunting is always a great way to get in a celebration mood and this map bunting is a wonderful way of celebrating travel. This fabric bunting is vibrant and can easily be hung anywhere to create some liveliness. In the summer months, I like to hang bunting outdoors, but throughout the year it can be hung in bedrooms to create a dramatic feature.

Vintage Suitcase Storage

And the final addition to my top 50 travel themed home decor pieces are these vintage suitcase inspired drawers . I think this is a really fun accessory for your home! It’s a practical way of storing bits and pieces and is a fantastic feature for any travel lover to own!
