How to inject summer holiday vibes into your home decor.
Inspired by the natural landscapes, the native flora and fauna, the deep blue of the water or bustling markets? There's lots of ways to incorporate the vibe you were inspired by in your travels into your home decor, evoking memories and taking you back to that special moment. Follow our inspired ideas to prolong those feelings of creativity or relaxation.
Wall Baskets, Greek style Vases, Rugs and a Wooden Sideboard all add rustic holiday vibe.
1. Introduce earthy materials.
Introduce colours and materials that remind you of those days you spent strolling the beach finding driftwood or the rattan furniture at your secluded villa. Earthy elements reflecting the tones and textures of our holiday destinations will blend perfectly with most existing decor styles and will bring all of those relaxed memories flooding back.
2. Dose up on the best summer candle scents.
Candles or incense that capture the scents and essence of far-flung places will transport you back instantly.
Dedicating a small amount of your outside space to creating an area that reminds you of sunny lunches and al fresco dining will transport you straight back and give you those all important feel good vibes.

A Greek style vase, trailing leaves and arty sculpture can all evoke memories of your favourite destination.
3. Inspired by botanicals.
The native flora and fauna is often one of the most memorable things about your favourite destination. Whether that's the brightly coloured rambling bougainvilleas of the Mediterranean or the soothing rustle
of reeds on a Cornish beach, adding some botanical touches to your pad can evoke special memories as well as the feel good benefits that a nod to nature can bring to your home.
Fill your home with colour and texture from stems and flowers to bring back memories of those special landscapes.
4. Bring the holiday vibes home.
A Buddha that reminds you of that breathtaking trip to South East Asia, a chopping board that stirs up thoughts of Italian food markets, a Greek urn or a vintage Moroccan rug? Homeware bought as a souvenir of your time spent travelling starts conversations and adds to the memories and story of your life.

5. Drench your home with your favourite destination colours.
Colour is extremely clever and has strong links with culture, memory and emotion. Maybe you want your colour palette to reflect the earthy reds of Moroccan Souks (try Outback or Ember), the deep inky blues and greens of Italian lakes (try Rivington Blue or Marsh) or the bold tones of Mexican architecture (try Mott or Mercer Green). Whether you choose to paint your entire room or create a feature wall, colour has a clever way of evoking memories, transporting you to far flung places and taking you right back to your favourite destination.
