APB Book Report: Travel Home



Travel Home, Design with a Global Spirit is the perfect book to read to get you through this shelter-at-home period. It will get you through with a good read, inspire you to travel after this is over, and inspire you to improve your home—which you are currently stuck in!



 

Travel through 20 sophisticated homes of designers deeply influenced by their international adventures abroad.


"A road map for bringing far-flung design ideas back home, Travel Home shows us how to curate interiors that reflect our favorite places and experiences in ways that are beautiful and authentic. Touring the homes of leaders in global design who share a deep affection for travel, the book explores interiors with influences as widespread as Marrakesh, Paris, Cuba, Tokyo, Portugal, and beyond.


Vivid photography is supplemented with insightful essays, interviews, and hardworking tips for cultivating your own global home. For globetrotters and armchair travelers alike, Travel Home showcases the interplay between travel and design, revealing how we can take inspiration from the beauty we experience in the world and bring it into our everyday lives."


 


After reading through this book I would say that the home that made the biggest impression on me was the home of Vanessa Alexander. Her home was the perfect blend of neutral colors in textural contrast.



A close second was Lan Jaenicke’s beautiful home whose Chinese heritage and influences in her home created a stunning home in San Francisco, CA.


After reading this book have a desire to travel and to redecorate! I loved reading through different designers travel experiences, packing preferences and must-see travel destinations.


With all of the travel inspiration in this book, I can’t decide where to go next!

Where will you go next?
