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.

First of all, choose paint coat connected with the theme of the inside you chose and design your own trailer camper’s logo with funny or unique characters, which can evoke your style as well as personality.

Furthermore, the old and rusty door should be replaced with new and firm one. To brighten up the outside, you only need to prepare a long rug, tables, and some colorful chairs. On the tables, you cover with tablecloths and decorate some cute stuff like handcraft vases, baskets, candles, fun jars or buckets. On the other hand, you can bring one or two plants to beautify the outside space.

Are old travel trailers worth anything?

Old travel trailers can be worth something depending on the condition and age of the trailer. An old travel trailer in good condition with all original parts could be appraised at a higher value than a trailer with missing or damaged parts. Additionally, vintage model trailers tend to have more value than newer models due to their uniqueness and rarity. It’s important to research the current market value of your trailer and set a price accordingly.

What year of travel trailer is considered vintage?

Vintage travel trailers are generally considered to be those that were made before the year 1964. This is because trailer technology and production were rapidly changing during this time period, and many unique models were created. Many of these retro style models are highly sought after by collectors today due to their rarity and historical significance. Additionally, some travel trailers from the 70’s may also be considered vintage due to their unique design. If you own an old travel trailer, it could be worth something to the right buyer. Doing some research about the age and value of your trailer is a good place to start.

With these vintage travel trailer decors we have shared, you have some clues beforehand. Forget baggy tents; you can decorate your camper by yourself and turn it into the home of joy, convenience, comfort, and personality. Do not let boring look ruin your journey and it is time for you and your family relish every moment with your unique and impressive vintage camper on your road.

More Vintage Wall Art Ideas to Love

Antique family lineage photo gallery: If you have boxes or albums of old family photos, why not frame them, arranging them in a mini gallery on a hallway or home office wall? This idea is a great way to create a ‘sacred’ space that feels set apart from the rest of your home, while giving you a chance to show off your personal lineage.

Wooden wall hangings: Back in the day, craftsmen and artists used whatever materials were easily accessible to them – wood being among the main ones. Art made completely from woodwork throws a subtle nod to yesteryear.

Chalkboard art: Hanging up a chalkboard (with a piece of chalk) isn’t just a historical aesthetic – it also gives guests and family members an easy way to express themselves with spontaneous sketches or little notes throughout the day!

Distressed iron and bronze: After wood had its moment, the industrial age conquered all. Bronze, iron and other metals, when distressed, straddle the line between urban-vintage and modern-factory feels.

Mail wall baskets: Letter-writing may be a lost art, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do your part to help keep its memory alive!

Clothespin line: Clothespins were the smartphones of the 1800s – without all the megalomania. They possessed a quiet power that enticed people to “show off” their clothes and live in the moment. ‘Unplug’ – and ‘pin up’ your photos and artwork!

Record wall: Remember that box of old records from the eighties you found in the attic last summer? Even if you don’t have a record player, and even if none of them have collected any value over the years (because God knows you checked!), don’t throw them out just yet. Instead, hang them up! Dust them off, pick out three or four or 12 or 16, and arrange them in neat little rows on a wall. The result = impressively rad vintage wall art.

Macramé art: Okay guys, ‘granny-chic’ is in ! But that doesn’t mean you have to go raid Grandma’s closet (and give Grandma a fright) – a simple handmade crochet, macramé, or other woven art piece will bring the vibe just fine!

Shadowboxes: The pinnacle of old-fashioned arts-and-crafts, shadowboxes often held intricate designs within them, delighting children and adults alike. Shop featured shadowboxes here , or make your own using plexiglass panels and miniature decor!
