When in Rome

Sometimes you just need an escape from everyday life. Unfortunately getting away at the drop of a hat isn’t always realistic. So what better place to escape to than right in your own home? Here are some ways you can bring the awe-inspired sensation of your favorite travel spot right into your home.
Do you like the feel of the Italian countryside? Think neutrals like white-washed walls, beige linens in a heavy cotton, and rustic touches like wood or stone accents inspired by the old Tuscan stone homes.
Are you a hopeless romantic and dream of roaming the streets of Paris? Pick a few statement pieces like a dramatic oversized chandelier in wrought iron inspired by the Eiffel Tower. Find colors while window shopping on the Champs Elysees- you know that outrageously expensive elegant gown that you can’t get out of your head. Use it as your palette and Voila, in no time you’ll be transported to your own French flat.
Tropical Hawaiian vacations? Incorporate colors you’d find on the black sand beaches and deep umber sunsets. Use different shades of teals and taupe browns to create a calming feel. Try a grasscloth wallpaper inspired by a grass skirt or a thatched roof. Accent with deep oranges and golds from the sunset.
The sky is the limit when renovating with a travel hotspot in mind. Incorporating a few of these ideas into your humble abode will help ease the tensions of day to day life and create a soothing retreat right in your very own home.
