How To Design A Travel-Inspired Bedroom Sanctuary
Greetings, wanderer! If you're reading this, you may be looking to travel - which has the potential to become one of the most memorable experiences of a lifetime.
Every destination we travel to, may it be the beaches of Bali, the scenic landscapes of New Zealand, or even the City of Love, Paris leaves a memorable imprint on us. But what if I told you that you could spend every moment at home whilst feeling like your are on a permanent vacation?
Fasten your seatbelts, because throughout this article, I am going to walk you through creating a travel-inspired bedroom sanctuary that will absolutely feel like a peaceful retreat from your daily life.
The Concept of a Travel-Inspired Bedroom Sanctuary
Envision this; after a tiresome day, you enter your bedroom. Instead of a bed and wardrobe, you are instantly hit by a wave of your favorite cities around the world welcoming you home.
You can hear waves crashing against the shore whilst the scent of sea fills the room. Whichever travel location you wish for instantly comes to you.
That’s the magic of having a travel-inspired bedroom sanctuary. It allows you to escape someplace soothing every time you enter, and creating an environment you enjoy the most and adore.
But what does it really mean to have a travel-inspired sanctuary? Well, think of it as incorporating preffered places into your very own cozy nook.
Whether it’s a bustling town, a calm mountain hideaway or the sunny embrace of a tropical beach, these spaces evoke certain landscapes, colors, textures, and experiences of places you’ve cherished, and this idea lets you reflect them.
All these aspects should contribute to the style of your bedroom—captivating the serenity required to lean back in your tranquil sanctuary, while also creating soothing visuals that cast pause to a weary mind.
Step 1: Envisioning Your Perfect Travel-Inspired Sanctuary
Consider for a moment the places that stand out most in your life and have evoked vivid feelings the moment you chose to visit them. Perhaps it was the relaxing vibe embraced by Mediterranean cities?
The serene rainforests of Costa Rica? Or, maybe the bright lights and extensive view of a city that never sleeps? Everything is valid and serves value on this travel-inspired project.
Focus on and select one or maybe mulitiple travel locations that you wish to flooded in with your decor. The moments you wish to embrace letting your imagination lag down should influence the way you wish to bring memories into your bedroom.
Think of the moment that makes you emotionally settled so you can tailor the colors, textures, and elements required to get right choice resembling the emulated feeling.
Step 2: Crafting a Practical Budget for Your Travel-Inspired Sanctuary
Transforming a travel themed bedroom or oasis does not come at the cost of sanity.
Take for instance, funds for over-the-top furniture and designer décor pieces. While tempting, remember this is about capturing the essence of your travels and not every single piece wherein you might have been abroad. Let’s ensure your budget sums what matters to you.
Allocate funds based on the impact of the newly designed elements to the overall zenith of the bedroom aesthetics. Start off by determining what components are critical to the design and progress from there on. Maybe you require a new, more suitable bed frame or intend to work on vibrant textiles and exquisite add-ons.
Appropriately design and allot your funds considering the value and impact the changes will have towards your projected vision.
Hi-Travelling isn't deeping a whole in your pocket, trust me a favorite sanctuary can be designed without disastrous impacts on the pockets. The value and affordability are quintessentials.
Step 3: Colors and Textures that Transport You to Your Favorite Destinations
Speaking of things which you should keep into account when designing a bedroom, one of the most important things is to have a snug fit in the design budget, in addition to traveling and relaxing in my favorite locations, texturing and coloring.
With respect to travel, bringing your dream destination to life with your bedroom which you spend time in is the ideal solution. Soft sandstone beige reminds you of the wonderful sunsets on the Mediterranean sands while lush greens and turquoise blue are invitingly tropical during summer in the southeast Asia islands.
An ideal palette calming impression and choice is selecting those places which travel to, and giving the dream places asmatic by providing a hot ambiance thus carefully inviting one to relax.
Linen, cotton, and bamboo are wonderful choices for bedding and curtains, as they capture the dreamy, cloud-like atmosphere we associate with imagery of travel and adventure. We want the sanctuary to feel as if it were directly taken from our vacation fantasies.
If you’ve ever stayed in a cabin in the mountains, you know how rustic wood textures feel like a warm hug on a cold day. This is something that can be incorporated in your furniture choices, like a reclaimed wood bed frame, or in wooden details around the room.
You need to consider how the different textures make you feel. These are landscapes you love, so feel free to use elements from the textures that form these places.
Step 4: Choosing the Right Furniture and Layout for Comfort and Functionality
Your bed is the focal point of your room, and for a travel-inspired retreat, it should represent the feel of the places you travel to. If you want a coastal feel, then a wooden or rattan bed frame could work wonderfully, but if you’re going for a more luxurious European-inspired bedroom, then an upholstered bed frame would do the trick.
Arranging the furniture provides a balance of comfort and the travel theme so that neither is too overpowering. Consider that your bedroom should be restful, so avoid cramming the area with large pieces. A nightstand or dresser, a cozy reading chair, and a reading chair are essential, but let them be positioned freely in a way that provides easy circulation without feeling boxed in.
A personal suggestion of mine would be adding furniture that has an accent of travel, maybe a vintage suitcase that has a story behind it or a handcrafted stool made from wood by a local at the place you’re visiting. These contributing items not only charm the atmosphere but also cultivate a true essence in your retreat.
Step 5: Adding Personal Touches and Decor Inspired by Your Travels
This is where a travel-themed bedroom decorating ideas activity will keep your creativity activated. Incorporating travel-inspired décor items is what makes your personal castle feel more like home. I mean to say photographs, art prints, souvenirs, and anything else along those lines that you own and form the fabric of your identity.
What about framing some of your most treasured photos from vacations you’ve been to and hanging them front and center in your room? Perhaps you’ve got postcards, maps, or even some dad’s photographs from their travels which you can use to decorate now. A splash of these small, personal additions shall not only serve as beautiful reminders of your adventures but will also bring your room to life.
Step 6: Lighting That Sets the Mood for Your Travel-Inspired Sanctuary
For travel inspired sanctuaries, lighting is very important. With the correct light setup, your room can transform into a warm, cozy oasis. A well designed lighting structure makes an area feel calm and comfortable. Achieving this design requires the aggregation of layered light types.
Setting the mood starts with ambient lighting (spot or sofit lights that provide area illumination). From there, attention should be directed towards areas that need specific attention i.e. bedside lamps/sconces (task lighting). Accent lighting comprises the finishing touches and allows for additional creativity. String lights and lantern styled tabletop lamps add a magical touch and can transport you to far away lnds.
Step 7: Incorporating Sustainable Practices in Your Travel-Inspired Bedroom
As explorers of the world, we appreciate everything it has offer, and in turn, we must also respect it. Honoring it in the form of a travel-themed bedroom not only places importance on outfitting your beloved places, but you also need to be considerate as to how the world would appreciate your room. This is set as an example through sustainable practices.
Sustainable practices can be followed by opting for up-cycled furniture like a reclaimed wood dresser, organic cotton for your bedsheets, eco-friendly wall paints, and more. By doing so, you not only decorate your room sustainably, but during the trips, you can also buy travel-themed locally crafted handicrafts that exhibit cultural heritage. Therefore, as these unique articles are displayed within the bedroom, treasured memories of places like Paris would come flooding back. Hence, you not only projects sustainability, but reduces the money spent on tourism, and best of all, your room exudes beauty!
