This Week's Ideabook on Houzz - How to Travel The Globe Without Leaving Your Living Room~

This week at Houzz.com I am talking about using maps in your home decor...


Do you have wanderlust? Do you ever daydream of visiting exotic locales? Most of us would love to see the world, but traversing the globe isn't very realistic for many of us. Making our homes look like we are well travelled, however, IS within our reach.

Maps in home decor are extremely popular at the moment. They will add a fabulous design element to your house, and may even appease the world-traveller-that-lies-within without breaking the bank.

Here are some great ideas for incorporating maps into your decor.
