At KFD Interiors we love to travel almost as much as we love design!  So we’re beyond excited to finally plan travel adventures again.  We can’t help but be inspired by our travel destinations - they give us amazing ideas for the interiors we create. It might be the flooring pattern in a beautiful old building, the colours in a park or garden, the eclectic interiors of a new bar or hotel.  And bringing something back from your travels is always a great idea for your own homes. It helps personalise your home and evokes the wonderful memories of your adventures. Here are the best ways to let your trips inspire your decor:

ONE OF A KIND

Always look out for one-of-a-kind pieces – something that very few people will have in their homes. And of course make sure that you choose pieces you really love - pieces that will last beyond trends that will remind you of your travel adventures for years to come. 

SHOWCASE COLLECTIONS

If you’re lucky enough to discover local artisans you absolutely love, don’t be afraid to start creating a collection.  At home curate these together on a shelf or create a gallery wall.  Skipping the mass produced pieces allows to you to create collections which are truly unique to you and your home and that will evoke memories of your travel destination every day.

REMEMBER YOUR HERITAGE

If you have a special affinity with a country or culture, make sure you display that in your interiors.  

If you have a lineage that leads back to a specific country or culture, be sure to show that in your decor too.

BOOKS

One of the most versatile things you can collect on your travels are books, filled with beautiful images of your favourite destinations. Perfect for displaying on any surface or shelf, remember to seek out hardbacks with thicker spines to look their best. And for extra style points, try to tie the covers to the colour scheme of your room - yes, really!

We hope you have fabulous plans for new travel and adventures soon. 

Remember to bring back a little piece of wherever you go.
