The beauty of adding travel decorations in your home is that there are hundreds of ways to do so. From a polaroid wall display to random travel-themed trinkets to spread around your home, you can’t go short of options.
Below, you’ll find a plethora of different and unique ideas to perk up your living arrangements.
There, there are tons of options for starting strong with wall art travel decorations. Wall decals are cheap, easy to apply and remove and will liven up your living space. You can display some of your photography or add stickers of your favorite places. Moreover, you can print out destinations you wish to visit and use that to inspire you.
You can even get your own Mapiful map of your favorite destinations! Just pick your spot, design, and frame. In no time, your unique and awesome wall décor will arrive to beautify your home!
Suitcase decoration is more common than you would think. It’s a stylish way to fill that empty wall in your living room. These shelves are eye-catching, to say the least, and are a great way to display all your knick-knacks. Their price starts at around $100, depending on size, model, etc.
This one is pretty self-explanatory. Vintage suitcase decorations act as the triple treat of house décor. First, you can’t go wrong with bringing a dash of vintage décor in your home, since it’s a sight for sore eyes. They can be an incredible storage space for all those items clogging up your living space. This includes all your extra blankets or massive winter sweaters that just won’t fit in your closet. Furthermore, you can then transform said suitcase into a chic coffee table. So, if you have a free day or two, consider DIY-ing one of these.
What screams “travel” louder than a model globe? These travel decorations are an easy way to decorate your home, as well as show your love for adventure. There are hundreds of globes out there that vary with their functions. For instance, you can buy a cork globe and pin all the continents you’ve visited. Liquor enthusiasts can get a handy globe bar too and display all their favorite drinks.
Map décor can be considered as the Jack of all trades when it comes to travel-inspired furnishing. If you feel like your walls are naked, you can always spaz them up with some map-themed wall art. This can include wooden murals, posters or canvases with a map print. You can find tons of these on online shops, like Amazon or Etsy. Their prices range from $70 to around $150.
You don’t have to draw the line at wall art! You can go the extra mile and get some map-themed bedding or blankets. There are lots of cute map-themed kitchen accessories too, like coasters or mugs!
Are you looking for some travel wall décor? Use your photography! If you travel, you’re sure to take a couple of hundred photos of the sights you’ve visited. So, why not print them out and display them around your home? Just think of that landscape you took of the ocean, and how great it would look in your bedroom! Alternatively, you can set up an entire gallery in your walkway, with all your best shots. It’s a great way to beautify your living space, as well as show off some of your art!
Wondering what to do with all that spare change lying around? Get a piggy bank to go with the rest of your travel themed decorations! You can place it pretty much anywhere in your home, and you’ll get the pleasure of popping it open once it’s all filled up. Use the saved up money for your next adventure.

It’s no secret that postcards are the easiest and cheapest souvenir to bring back from a trip. If you’re an avid traveler, chances are you have a collection of postcards. Maybe you’ve purchased them along with your voyages, or a friend gifted them to you. Displaying them is a neat way to introduce a travel-inspired design in your home. You can put them in a frame and wall them, hang them on a twine across the room or get a postcard holder online for your desk.
This one can go hand in hand with your postcard display. Travel postcards are one of the most common and easiest travel souveniers to collect. If your collection isn’t complete yet, buying a couple of vintage postcards is an excellent idea. Printed in black and white, these beautiful keepsakes will add a timeless feel to your home.
Polaroids have made a comeback in the past few years. Not only does a polaroid camera come handy to all travelers, but it also adds a dash of vintage to your home you can’t replicate. They’re perfect home décor accessories, and you can display them in a few different ways. For example, you can glue them on your walls with double-sided tape, or hang them with LED string lights. You can display them in a few different rooms, separating them by continent or year that you took them!
What better way to use all the travel mementos you’ve saved up over the years than compiling them in a shadowbox? These travel-inspired accessories for the home are perfect for everyone who loves holding on to keepsakes from their travels. Include all your special plane/bus tickets, tourist maps and any other souvenir you hold dear! Shadowbox prices start at around $10 on Amazon, but you’re sure to find some in department or craft stores too.
