Get The Global Look: Pulling It All Together

Over the last few weeks I have shared how you can create global style in your home. Week one was all about selecting furniture pieces.  Week two handled textiles and yesterday I shared all about global art.  Today, is all about pulling all the components together to create a global style space.  Getting the global look doesn’t require an entire overhaul of your home.  As a matter of fact, I still haven’t incorporated all the pieces I would like.  Take your time transforming your space into a room you can love.

Putting the final touches to a global style room can include those smaller pieces like vases, lamps, decorative accessories such as lamps, trays, and mirrors.  One of my favorite elements to incorporate into a room are plants and flowers.  Now getting myself to water the plants is a completely different story.  If you have any tips to help me remember that, please drop a comment below about it.

I am a maximalist at heart.  I love a full space and sometimes feel uncomfortable in spaces with the minimum decor.  When pulling a space together, just go with what feels comfortable for you.  Here are some globally inspired spaces to inspire you in your journey to create a global style home.

Now you’re ready to get your room/space together.  I love to gather ideas for furniture, textiles, arts, etc in one place to see the overall look.  A mood board is a good way to see how each element would work together without buying all the pieces at once.  Here is a mood board I created for Chi-Chi’s big girl room, which is currently underway.

Homework Time!!!

I hope that you feel confident in creating your own global style home now.  For this last week’s homework assignment, try transforming a space by moving or incorporating new to that space furniture (either moving furniture from another room or incorporating a new furniture piece), adding colorful textiles (pillows, rugs, blankets, etc), and global art.  Try your hand at creating a mood board to kick off your transformation.
