The document discusses an "eclectic globetrotter" interior design trend of transforming a home into an explorer's paradise through the addition of vintage storage trunks, maps, globes, and other whimsical items picked up from travels. An interior designer is quoted saying that people want something different these days and incorporating antiquities and curios makes a design more interesting as long as it's not contrived. A variety of travel-inspired accessories are pictured that could be incorporated into this design style.

ECLECTICGLOBETROTTER
Appease your inner wanderlust by transforming your home into an
explorer’s paradise. Add vintage style storage trunks, maps and globes to
make your home feel transported from another land. Mix wood and worn
brown leather with whimsical pieces that you might have conceivably
picked up on your ‘travels’. If this trend doesn’t add a touch of awe to
your front room, nothing will. Cormac Rowell, interior designer at Rowell
Designs in Donnybrook (Rowelldesign.ie), says, “People want something
different these days and incorporating antiquities and curios into their
design makes it more interesting and conversational. I’m all for it as long
as it’s not contrived and is relevant to the design.”
