Space & Budget Guidance
Small Space Tips
In small spaces, let one region or color story dominate. A small room might focus on Moroccan influence or Japanese aesthetics. One stunning global piece—an Indonesian cabinet or Turkish rug—can define the space. Use textiles and small objects to layer cultural interest without overwhelming. For a small bedroom: In small bedrooms (under 100 sq ft), prioritize the bed and essential nightstands. Use wall-mounted lights to save nightstand space. Consider a headboard with built-in storage. Skip the bench and armc
Large Space Tips
Large spaces can journey through multiple cultures. Create vignettes: a Moroccan seating area, an Asian-inspired meditation corner. Layer rugs from different origins. Display collections of pottery or textiles. The space should feel like the home of a thoughtful world traveler. In a larger bedroom: Large bedrooms (200+ sq ft) can create distinct zones: sleeping area, sitting area, dressing area. Include a proper reading chair, bench, and possibly a desk or vanity. Use area rugs to define zones w
Budget-Friendly
Start with textiles—they're often affordable and high impact. Shop fair-trade sales and seconds. Look for global-inspired options at Target's Opalhouse line or World Market. Thrift stores sometimes have authentic pieces. Small items like ceramics and baskets build the look affordably.
Luxury Approach
Source antique and vintage pieces from specialty dealers and auction houses. Commission custom pieces directly from master artisans. Travel specifically to purchase from workshops. Invest in museum-quality textiles and artifacts. Work with designers who specialize in global sourcing.
