70+ World Travel Themed Home Decor Ideas

Pretty soon, I’ll have my first place of my own (I’ve moved out before, but I was always in some sort of dorm), and I’m super excited to buy all the furniture, decor, and everything else that goes with getting your own place. Given my very obvious travel addiction, I thought it would make sense for a lot of the home decor in my new apartment to be travel themed. I can’t make EVERYTHING travel themed (my boyfriend would kick me out before we even moved in), but let’s just say people won’t have to guess what I had in mind when decorating our new place. So, if you are moving into a new place, or just looking to do some redecorating, check out these world travel themed home decor ideas!

Travel Inspired Living Room Decorations

Travel throw pillows.

Pillows are a great way to add just a touch of travel decor to a living room. They’re not overly obnoxious, but still obvious. Plus, since they come in so many different colors, it’s not too terribly difficult to find one that would match your couch!

Stacked Travel Chests

I found out real fast when looking at furniture that end tables are surprisingly expensive. So, when I saw these on Amazon, I thought it was a really cool idea. Instead of the traditional end table (that may or may not have a small drawer to put things in), why not get suitcase styled chests? They’re stack-able and can store way more than your traditional end table.

Suitcase Shelves

I found these in one of the home decor stores I had visited and thought it was a cute idea. Instead of the traditional wooden shelves, get creative and use shelves that were decorated to look like suitcases. They’ll match your suitcase end tables!

Travel Coasters

If you don’t already have some souvenir drink coasters from your various trips around the world, you can get some world map drink coasters to make sure your new, nice tables don’t get ruined by condensation from drinking glasses.

World Map Tissue Box Cover

I don’t think too many people use tissue box covers anymore, but I thought it was one of the more unique travel decor ideas. If nothing else, it’s a conversation piece!

Traditional Globes

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of travel decor? A globe of course! You can’t decorate your new place with a travel theme and not have at least one globe around.

Travel Themed Dining Room Decor

Travel placemats.

Like I mentioned above, once you get that nice, new table, you don’t want it to be ruined from moisture from cold drinks or hot plates. Placemats are an easy and common fix to that problem. If you’re going to be buying placemats anyway, might as well make them travel themed, right?

World Map Table Runner

If dinner placemats aren’t enough, why not complete the look with a matching table runner?

World Travel Bedroom Decor

Travel lamp.

Looking for something cool and unique to show off to all of your friends? Then you have to check out this floating globe lamp! It uses magnets to make the globe levitate and it even spins around like a traditional globe! It has LEDs built into the frame to make it light up and look even cooler! Of course, you can always go with the more traditional travel home decor too…

World Map Bed Comforter

Do you dream of traveling the world? I thought so! Why not go to sleep surrounded by a map of all the places you dream of visiting?

Travel Pillow Cases

Of course, you can’t have a world map bed comforter and not have matching pillow cases. You just can’t do it.

Travel Themed Bathroom Decor

Travel inspired shower curtains.

Since most showers require some sort of shower curtain (unless you don’t mind lots of water getting all over the floor), having a travel themed shower curtain is an easy way to add a touch of travel to your home life. It’s simple, and separate from the rest of the rooms in the house (in case you don’t want your guests overwhelmed by travel decor the moment they walk into your new place).

World Map Towels

If you are looking to make the entire bathroom travel themed (instead of just having a touch of it), you can also get bath towels that are travel themed. It’s especially nice if you have a rack where you can sort of hang them on display when not in use.

Travel Inspired Kitchen Items

Travel themed alcohol items.

Even if you’re not into the “travel decor” thing, you can still add a bit of travel to your home life. You can break out these glasses when you’ve brought home some souvenir drinks from your most recent destination.

World Map Plates

If you don’t have a big dinning room table, or aren’t really the type of person to use placemats and a table runner, you can still add a bit of travel decor to meal time with these cool looking plates!

Travel Inspired Napkins

My mom always gives me a hard time because I have a bad habit of wiping my hands on my jeans instead of using a napkin (especially when eating greasy or salty foods), but if I had these napkins, I might be a little more inclined to use them (hint-hint mom: these would make a good moving gift).

World Map Cutting Board

Cutting boards are another one of those more subtle items that don’t necessarily get put on display. Since most traditional cutting boards are typically pretty bland, you can spice yours up by getting a travel decorated one.

Travel Themed Office Decor

Push pin cork globe.

My boyfriend and I are to turning our second bedroom into an office since both of us have computer desks. It’s the perfect place to put a tiny globe like this one. Plus, it’s exciting being able to put a new pin in it every time we go someplace new.

Globe Book Ends

I LOVE books. Unfortunately I don’t have as much time to read as I used to (which I think is a shame given how much I really loved it), but I’m really proud of my bookshelves and all the books that sit on them. Plus, I’ve always loved the feel of sitting in a library (especially those rustic ones you see in movies). I figured why not combine some of my biggest passions and add a little travel decor to my bookshelves?

Book Box Covers

If you’ve never heard of book boxes, don’t feel guilty. I hadn’t heard of them either until I started shopping for home decor! Book boxes are great for those book lovers (like me) that want their books to remain in mint condition. You can put your favorite books in book boxes to protect them from dust and moisture. Plus you can give your bookshelves more of a universal look (like the rustic library I mentioned above).

Pencil Holder

Because no desk would be complete without a pencil or pen holder.

Travel Wall Decor

Decorative world maps.

This is what usually comes to mind when you think of travel decor (and usually some of the first results when looking online). You can always go with the traditional, school-like world map, but there are some really cool looking world maps out there if you’re looking for something a little more unique.

Scratch Off World Maps

In more recent years, scratch off world maps have become more popular. They’re a great way to showcase all of the different places you’ve been! My mom got me one for Christmas and I absolutely love it. However, all of the places I’ve been are pretty small, so it doesn’t look like I’ve scratched anything off, but I’m working on it!

Wall Clocks

This is another one of more simple travel decor ideas. It’s a common household decoration and easy to customize to your style. Plus, there are lots of different options out there, so it isn’t too difficult to find one you like.

Word Art and Hangings

You can find all sorts of quotes that have been turned into travel decor. I feel like almost every home decor store that I’ve walked into has had some sort of wall piece with an inspiration adventure quote on it. Even if you’re not looking to go all out with the travel theme, they’re something small and nice you can hang on the wall to express your passion for travel.

Other Travel Decorating Ideas

World map welcome mat.

What better way to welcome guests than to welcome them to your adventures? No better way to set the travel theme than to have it be the first thing you see!

Light Switch Covers

I don’t know if I would replace every light switch cover in my new place with a travel inspired one, but I thought it was a unique way to incorporate travel into home decor. At this point though, the rest of the place is already travel themed, might as well make the light switches travel themed too.

Outlet Covers

If you’ve got travel themes lights switch covers, it only makes sense that you have travel inspired outlet covers too. If you have one, you just have to have the other!

And that’s it for my long list of travel themed home decor! What did you think? Will you be including any of these items the next time you decide to do some redecorating? Let me know in the comments below!

This centrepiece features a large bouquet of white hydrangeas placed in a clear glass vase, providing a stunning and elegant focal point for the dining table. The simplicity of the white flowers complements the modern aesthetic of the room, enhanced by natural light and a contemporary decor.

1. How do I choose the right size centerpiece for my table?

The size of your centerpiece should be proportional to your dining table. A good rule of thumb is to make sure the centerpiece leaves enough room for table settings without crowding the surface. For long tables, consider multiple smaller arrangements along the centerline.

2. Are there centerpiece ideas that are both decorative and functional?

Yes! Functional centerpieces like edible arrangements, interactive food stations (like a cheese or charcuterie board), or even a collection of sauces and spices for dinner can be both beautiful and useful. Decorative tiered stands displaying desserts or appetizers also work well.

3. How can I create a centerpiece on a budget?

Get creative with items you already have at home. Use mason jars filled with wildflowers, DIY candle holders, or repurpose wine bottles as vases. Thrift stores and flea markets are also great places to find unique items at a low cost.

4. What centerpiece is best for a formal dining setting?

For a formal setting, opt for a more structured and elegant centerpiece such as a floral arrangement in a crystal vase, a silver candelabra, or a fine china statuette. Keeping the arrangement symmetrical and coordinated with the tableware adds to the formal look.

If you love these ideas, don’t forget to pin the above image to your “Home and Garden” board.

Sports Illustrated Resort will be a centerpiece of Exit 407 project in the Smokies

S ports Illustrated Resorts, whose first property opened in the Dominican Republic earlier this year, is planning to join Buc-ee's and an immersive Cherokee theme park along Interstate 40 at The 407: Gateway to Adventure.

OE Experiences, which is a co-developer for The 407 in Sevier County alongside the developer, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, also shared two new entertainment attractions planned for the Smoky Gap entertainment district anchored by the Puy du Fou theme park Cherokee Rose.

The two entertainment attractions have Sevier County ties and would open along with the rest of Smoky Gap in 2025 or early 2026. The Sports Illustrated resort would come later.

Here's what we know so far about the project, located just off Exit 407.

Sports Illustrated Resort would be among first in the US

North Carolina-based Smoky Mountain News has reported Kituwah LLC, a subsidiary of the tribe, struck a $324 million deal in October to control and invest in Sports Illustrated Resorts.

The brand's first stateside resort is planned to open in Orlando as early as next year.

While the Sevier County Sports Illustrated concept is still in development, the now-open resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, and renderings for the Orlando project illustrate what a finished product could look like.

Theming appears light at the Dominican Republic property compared to the Orlando project, whose renderings show a NASCAR-themed go-kart track, a baseball diamond and a pool with a football-shaped centerpiece.

The Sevier County resort could open in 2026 or 2027, one year behind the Orlando resort.

Why build a Sports Illustrated resort in Tennessee?

Sports Illustrated Resorts are being planned near universities to "reflect a school's heritage and pay tribute to the players, coaches, and fans that continue to keep the spirit alive," according to the resorts' website.

"We obviously have a tremendous athletic legacy in Tennessee − a lot of incredible athletes," OE Experiences CEO Matthew Cross told Knox News. "I think we can tie into a lot of the wellness, active lifestyle trends. ... We have green space, we have blue line streams, we have some really neat ravines and some undulating terrain. All of that can be used by that kind of resort really effectively."

New attractions coming to The 407's Smoky Gap

Cross said all prospective tenants at Smoky Gap are under letters of intent, meaning there's still time to shuffle before leases are signed.

However, there are two tenants he is comfortable announcing: Activate Games and Fannie Farkle's.

Activate Games tests mental and physical agility

Activate Games might not have started in Gatlinburg, but the branch has become a hit in the Smoky Mountains' competitive tourist landscape.

It's not virtual reality, but it's not exactly natural, either. The concept blends the aesthetic of "Tron" and 8-bit videos games with athletic challenges that test guests' physical and mental agility.

Competitors might have to step on certain illuminated tiles and avoid others, for example, or crawl to avoid lasers like an undercover agent.

Fannie Farkles brings classic Gatlinburg amusement to new development

The entire Smoky Gap district will have a World War I-era look to match the time period of Cherokee Rose, the anchor attraction. But Smoky Gap is "a collective story," Cross said.

"Our tenants will have their own stories to tell," he said. "Where we're really excited is where those stories kind of overlap and synergize off each other. Fannie Farkle's is a great example."

The business has been a Gatlinburg mainstay since 1981, offering carnival food and fun the whole family can enjoy, from Skee-Ball to Pac-Man.

"They're going to have a marquee billboard − over the top − kind of like an old movie theater that ties into their brand storytelling perfectly," Cross said.

Smoky Gap would have roughly 10 tenant spaces, with some sections built out for restaurants and others for entertainment businesses.

What exactly is Cherokee Rose? The themed story unfolds

Much like the rest of The 407, it's hard to put into words.

The interactive themed experience will be a product of French company Puy du Fou, which is bringing its first United States attraction to The 407. The most important distinction: The company specializes in storytelling, not rides.

Cross tells it best:

"The Cherokee Rose is the story of tribal citizens in World War I going overseas − this is before they're American citizens − as volunteers and then realizing that their language could be an integral part of code talking. This is before the Navajo in World War II that everyone knows about. And so this is really an untold but amazingly patriotic story. So when you go through the Cherokee Rose, you're getting your orders and you're training in camp. You're going overseas on a boat, you're going into Europe ... and then you're learning about trench life, experiencing trench warfare. And then you have a very emotional moment that brings you back to the Smokies."

All of this takes place indoors with live actors, though guests might feel like they're outdoors at times. Cross said some of the team members working on the project also worked on Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, located in Disney Parks.

"This will be really visually stimulating − a lot of visual icons," he said. "Cherokee Rose will have a crashed plane on the roof, and we'll have spotlights. It's things that demand investigation."

The 407 could end up being a $1 billion project

The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians has already seen a return on its investment, Cross said, with 1.3 million visitors at Buc-ee's since opening June 26.

Development investments are already over $100 million, he said, and that's not even including the Sports Illustrated Resort − a $300 million to $500 million project on its own.

"So, this could easily be a billion-dollar development when it's fully developed between all of the capital partners," Cross said. "And so, when you're at that level, we want to make sure the people we're doing business with and the partnerships we're facilitating, they appreciate what we're going after and the importance of the scale. And they put their best foot forward."

Six Flags taking Fright Fest to extreme with ‘Saw,’ ‘The Conjuring,’ ‘Stranger Things’

Six Flags Entertainment is taking its fan-favorite Halloween event to the next level this year with the debut of Fright Fest Extreme - Presented By SNICKERS at two of its parks.

Building on last year’s “Saw” and “The Conjuring” experiences at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Southern California and Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey, those same parks are getting a complete Fright Fest overhaul, going heavy on intellectual property. 

“I think Halloween turns the world upside down, and these Halloween movies are thrill rides, so it just became like the perfect fit for us,” Edithann Ramey, Six Flags’ Chief Commercial Officer and “Chief Fright Officer,” told USA TODAY. “It's our busiest time of the year across the whole nation, and so we did want to invest big on making them the most exciting they can be.”

The world’s largest regional theme park operator is also expanding Fright Fest offerings at other parks across North America. Here’s what fans can expect.

What will Fright Fest Extreme include?

Six Flags Great Adventure and Six Flags Magic Mountain will get the most intellectual property theming.

“Visitors … will step into a world where nightmarish creatures inspired by legendary horror brands come to life with Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures’ ‘SAW’ franchise, Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things’ and ‘Army of the Dead,’ Warner Bros. Discovery’s ‘The Conjuring,’ ‘Annabelle’ and ‘The Nun,’ and Legendary Entertainment’s ‘Trick ‘r Treat,'” Six Flags announced Tuesday. “Guests at Six Flags Great Adventure will also be treated to a new experience from Legendary Entertainment’s ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ while visitors to Six Flags Mexico will have access to a special exclusive maze based on the bestselling comic series (DCeased) from DC Comics.”

Over the summer, Six Flags will announce additional IP offerings at other parks.

“The idea is to make it big across the United States, across all of our parks,” Ramey said. “This year we'll have seven or eight parks that have it. Next year, more will have it. So it's going to be something that gets incorporated throughout our whole system.”

Dark Universe: Universal Orlando’s ‘most terrifying attraction yet’ is coming to Epic Universe

How scary will Fright Fest Extreme be? 

Fright Fest Extreme is designed to scare.

“There's a fanatic of Halloween, a real true thrill seeker that we want to delight,” Ramey said. “When we began this project, I literally went online and Googled the top Halloween franchises in America.” She wanted to understand what excited these fans and also appeal to a wide range of guests.

“Like ‘Saw’ is all about like getting killed maybe two minutes into the film and your head's exploding. That's one spectrum of it,” she said. “And then the other is ‘ Stranger Things ,’ which has this beautiful 80s vibe and this storyline and this mass appeal …  There's a little bit of everything for everybody.”

The event will also feature creepy decor, outdoor mazes designed to make guests feel like they could really get lost in them, roving scare actors aiming to catch guests off guard, themed food and drinks, and roller coasters for a different kind of thrill.

What are the dates for Fright Fest Extreme?

Fright Fest Extreme will be held across 32 nights between Sept. 7 through Nov. 3 at both Six Flags Magic Mountain and Six Flags Great Adventure.

It’ll be the longest Fright Fest season ever for Six Flags Magic Mountain, which will host the event on select Thursdays through Sundays. Six Flags Great Adventure’s Fright Fest Extreme will run on select Wednesdays through Sundays.

Ramey says fans may want to come back multiple times throughout the season.

“Several of the houses have like choose your own experience, and after you go, you're going to want to do that again and again,” she said.

How much are tickets to Fright Fest Extreme?

Fright Fest Extreme will be a separately ticketed event not included with regular park admission. Prices vary by date and ticket type.

Single-night tickets include entry to all haunted houses. They start at $49 for Six Flags Great Adventure and $75 for Six Flags Magic Mountain as part of a three-day flash sale launched Tuesday.

Gold, Platinum and Diamond Season Pass holders, Six Plus members and Legacy members with a valid pass can get into the event for free, but will have to pay a separate fee to enter haunted houses.

An express upgrade will also be available for purchase to cut waits.

“We also have spent some time thinking about the lines, and so when you're lining up to go into the maze, what are some of the sensory things that can be happening as you line up?” Ramey said. “Showing maybe a little bit of the film, or showing you some pictures of the film, or even having some scares along the way so (waiting in) line isn't as awful as you think it would be.”

We visited Asheville and bypassed North Carolina's chain hotels for this quirky, local gem

When preparing for a recent weekend getaway to Asheville, North Carolina, a relative who lives in nearby Hendersonville suggested we check out a new boutique hotel called Zelda Dearest .

You can't visit an eclectic, artsy mountain town like Asheville and stay in a vanilla chain hotel with mass-produced synthetic charm, after all. Instead, we opted for one of the three lovingly restored historic homes that line Biltmore Ave. just outside of downtown Asheville.

The homes, all surrounded by new development, were saved from certain demolition by Atlanta-based commercial real estate firm Hatteras Sky and rebranded as a "love letter" to Asheville from one of its heroines, Zelda Fitzgerald. The property, under the management of Lark Hotels , opened in October 2023 after nearly five years of renovations.

Fitzgerald's presence and legacy are felt throughout the property. From the original bold and colorful artwork lining the walls to the art deco vibe and wonderfully charming uses of shades of purples, blush pinks and blacks throughout, the world's original flapper — and wife of author F. Scott Fitzgerald — now has a permanent home perched atop a tree-lined hillside just outside of town.

Zelda Fitzgerald led a seemingly glamorous life

Fitzgerald's story is an interesting one, which made for what seemed like a somewhat odd choice for a boutique hotel's muse. At the end of a seemingly glamorous life traversing the world, writing, dancing and painting, Fitzgerald died alone in 1948. She was reportedly sedated and awaiting electroshock therapy in an Asheville mental institution when the building caught fire.

She had been in and out of institutions most of her adult life after a schizophrenia diagnosis. The legend that floats among many Ashevillians is that F. Scott drove her crazy and had her institutionalized. The truth, however, we will never know.

Hatteras Sky chose to model this property after her style and her character, rather than the darkness that often shadowed her troubled life and untimely death. The property exudes her love of art and ballet and all things shiny and decorative, and it makes for a wonderful respite that almost feels like a sleepover at her house might have felt.

Incorporating Fitzgerald's style created something 'singular, irreplaceable and unique'

Amy Michaelson Kelly, principal at Hatteras Sky, said theming the property after Zelda was the idea of her partner Jason Cordon, who said the Fitzgerald name itself has a brand, so why not celebrate that?

"Independent hotels are businesses, and they have no brand. That’s why they are independent," Kelly said. "Jason wanted to have a brand that people know that isn’t hospitality and establish a unique local connection that no hotel is offering. He did some research on Zelda, that she died in Asheville and they had traveled there and stayed in hotels. They never owned a home, but stayed in hotels or with other people. We wanted Zelda Dearest to feel very residential."

She added visitors to Asheville might rather stay in a property that is "singular, irreplaceable and unique," so preserving the homes creates a much different experience than a box hotel.

Access to the property is granted through the front door of each of the homes, which are named after one of Fitzgerald's sisters: Rosalind, Marjorie and Tilde. While the homes were given back their historic beauty on the outside, the interiors and 20 guest rooms maintain their quirkiness with slanted walls and unorthodox floor plans but feel new in the most respectful ways.

Kelly added they didn't want the homes to feel like a bed and breakfast with creaky floors and musty smells, so much of the interiors were gutted, while decorative features were saved and reused. And Hatteras Sky did all of this with the permission of and assistance from the Fitzgerald estate.

"We did our research and went to New York to have tea at the Plaza Hotel with the granddaughter, Eleanor 'Bobbie' Lanahan," Kelly said. "We hashed out what our plan would be. She has been involved. We'd send her designs and she would make notes of things she liked and didn't like. Zelda was ahead of her time and she liked smart design that wasn't overly frilly."

Lanahan commented in an email that she was thrilled to have a hotel named after her grandmother — and Zelda would have been, too.

"Asheville is one of the loveliest places on the planet and my grandmother was at home in the surrounding mountains where she found inspiration and tranquility. I hope the hotel will give the same respite and rejuvenation to all its guests," she wrote.

Sticking to a 'vision' instead of 'taking the easy way out'

Neal Reed, director of operations for New Morning Ltd., also owns the historic Fine Arts Theater just a few blocks away from Zelda Dearest. He's an Asheville native who has watched many historic homes be demolished in the wake of development.

"Growing up and seeing these historic properties fall to development is heartbreaking," he said. "It is sometimes a difficult balancing act between progress and the past. Homes such as these were in such bad repair, if they had been anywhere else, they would have been torn down long ago. It’s great to see those homes preserved. I admire the dedication it took from owners and developers to have a vision instead of the easy way out."

Jessie Landl, executive director of The Preservation Society of Asheville and Buncombe County , said the home at 137 Biltmore, known as the Mears house, dates back to 1885 on the National Register of Historic Places, but could be even older. The other two homes also date back to the late 1800s.

"I think adaptive reuse is one of the most important tools in preservation," Landl said. "Whether I agree with the end use or not, and I don’t disagree with this use, but the truth is, these buildings were at risk and someone had the forethought to put preservation easements on them."

The result of the hard work is a beautiful, unique hotel experience

Thanks to a beautiful combination of history and luxury, a stay at Zelda Dearest is not only comfortable, it's unique. Several rooms even have small libraries with many of both Fitzgeralds' books on display.

The main floor of the Rosalind house, which was a short brick pathway walk from our room in the Tilde house, housed breakfast and coffee each morning and converted into Wine & Roses, a boutique bar with a speakeasy vibe, in the evenings.

Staff is on hand if you need them, but disappear when you don't, further enhancing the feel that you are a guest in someone's home, versus staying in a hotel. Rates at Zelda Dearest start at $350 per night.
