Have a touch of wanderlust? If you like the idea of scouring the globe looking for one-of-a-kind decor but an “around the world” trip is not in the cards, get a funky global style for your home with styles from Lamps Plus.
The Global Mix section in Lamps Plus' Shop by Trend section is a treasure trove of items that are a international feast of home decor.
There is something so liberating about a global style as there doesn't seem to be any rules in putting together a cohesive, bohemian look. The natural designer in me, of course, selected a scheme that tends to match much more than a haphazard collection of world travel treasures would usually reflect. What can I say?
When trying to capture the look, make sure you mix interesting patterns with unique textures. Take for example the blue batik pattern pillow in conjunction with the rustic iron tables.
While timeless or modern blue floor lamps may not be a traditional choice, a blue lampshade like this Indian pattern shade adds a bit of pop against the beautifully tactile floor lamp. All of these material do work harmoniously and evoke the feeling of a lifetime worth of travel. Go forth and design with travel in mind.
1. Pretend you are in the tropics with this walnut and bronze LED ceiling fan by Matthews.
2. I think this indigo print linen pillow has an exotic batik look, like something you might find in Indonesia or India.
3. The highly textured gunmetal ceramic table lamp by Robert Abbey has a decidedly modern Chinese look.
4. I like the safari vibe you get from this gray and black hair on hide wall mirror.
5. The unique look of the tripod accent table in iron in with tree branch details evokes the feeling of the Amazon or the Adirondacks if you’re feeling a touch more American at heart.
6. The Luna Lamp from Jamie Young has a chocolate brown metal base with a batik lampshade and has a fresh and modern take on Island design.
