ECLECTIC GLOBETROTTERAppease your inner wanderlust by transforming your home into an explorer’s paradise. Add vintage style storage trunks, maps and globes to make your home feel transported from another land. Mix wood and worn brown leather with whimsical pieces that you might have conceivably picked up on your ‘travels’. If this trend doesn’t add a touch of awe to your front room, nothing will. Cormac Rowell, interior designer at Rowell Designs in Donnybrook (Rowelldesign.ie), says, “People want something different these days and incorporating antiquities and curios into their design makes it more interesting and conversational. I’m all for it as long as it’s not contrived and is relevant to the design.”
