11 ideas for your home

We love traveling, but we can’t always be on the road. We collect a lot of travel souvenirs, but we don’t always know what to do with them. How about combining souvenirs and the desire to travel to decorate your home with a travel theme, saving good memories and inspiring yourself for your next trips around the world?

In this text, we have separated 10 travel-themed decoration ideas for the bedroom, living room and office. We also included a topic just with suggestions for decorating a children’s room with a round the world theme.

For travel-themed decoration inspiration, I used Pinterest (see our folder with decoration ideas) and Amazon*. I chose things that can be adapted in a “Do It Yourself” style or purchased at a good price.

Travel decoration for bedrooms and living rooms:

1. Travel-Themed Gallery Wall

A Galery Wall is a space where you can combine different paintings and objects, whether or not you mix different frames and types of art in the composition. In the case of the travel theme, you can combine photos of yourself with maps, art, postcards, in short, the sky is the limit.

Some ideas for your travel-themed Gallery Wall:

Another good travel themed decoration solution for the bedroom, living room or office are stickers. There are a multitude of models, they are relatively easy to nail and serve both as the decoration itself and as the basis for a different project.

For example, a historic or old map looks great in an office:
