The spoils of travel are aplenty – new culinary experiences, bearing witness to incredible sights, and learning about ancient cultures. Globetrotting can harvest incredible feelings of immersion, and oftentimes, you will be searching for ways to keep that travel-spirit and the memories alive. Maybe you’ll find yourself journeying home clutching precious mementoes in your lap, or if you’re like me, sizing up beautiful pieces and googling international freight options.
Getting these treasured pieces home is one thing, but successfully incorporating them into our Australian/New Zealand way of life is a whole other story. We all remember the huge Balinese-décor trend a while back, where so many Aussies came home laden with souvenirs, intent on re-creating that paradise at home – and I think we’d all agree that only a few managed to pull the look off really successfully. Why? Rather than re-creating a ‘movie-set replica’, it’s all about the edit and knowing how to blend those stand-out pieces with your own look, whether it be contemporary, quite luxurious, or more rustic.
The wonderful From Our Travels collection has not only eliminated that pesky freight problem, but the hand-picked pieces lend themselves to seamlessly and elegantly blending into your home. Styling this shoot was all about ensuring that the balance between our contemporary way of living and these hand-crafted statement pieces was spot on.
