Ready to have the whole world in your hands? You can if you have world globes in your home.
Believe it or not, world globes are a big part of home décor these days. With the idea of culture and being a world traveler in vogue, showing how much you know about the world and understand it makes you in style.
This is so much the case that some people are using world globes as the centerpiece for a complete world décor theme.
Here's how it works:
They first choose the kind of world globe they want to base their décor around. If you think there is only one type of globe, you haven't seen the world of globes recently, and you have a wide variety at your fingertips. While there are the typical, modern day globes as you would expect, there are also plenty of globes that represent various times in history as well as some that focus more on the nautical look at the world than a land mass view.
You can even double your pleasure by choosing more than one globe that will best suit your décor desires. For example, if you love the older look of the world, you may want to choose more than one antique globe, each depicting a different time in history. You can line them up chronologically as a way to watch the progression of time in your home.
Once you have the globes in place, it's time to build a room around them. In the example we already used, there are two to three globes, depicting different times in history. Now we can add to these with other items that make sense to go with the important empires in the world and their cultures. Depending on how far back you have gone, the globes you own could show off anything from Ancient Greek, Roman and Egyptian items, or, for more modern globes, collectibles depicting the world wars that occurred around the times those globes are representing.
It's not just other accenting trinkets that will make your room, but the rest of the decorative touches you add as well. Instead of boring walls, what about decorating those walls with navigational wallpaper (depicting globes or special moments in history), or better yet, find old world maps that can match your old world globes and set them in lush frames on the walls around your globes.
Now that you have the setting created, you need to make sure you have furniture that will work with the style you have created. Not just any sitting area will do in this space. You need to take things back in time to join the world globes that you are showing off.
Think back to what it would have been like to be in an adventurer's club at the turn of the century. Large, overstuffed leather chairs filled with big game hunters talking about the rhino or tiger that barely got away from them, all the while swirling their brandy around in a snifter. This furniture is easy to find and can create the complete picture-perfect setting for any room in your house.
