When you think of a world-travel theme, the first thing that probably comes in mind is a map. Maps are perfect décor element in this case. You can choose a map of your favorite place, the one you dream of going to or of a place you’ve already visited. You can also have a world map with all the places you’ve visited highlighted.

Framed wall art.

Another way in which you can add an exotic touch to your bedroom is by framing images of places around the world and displaying them on the walls. You could also frame vacation pictures that you’ve taken in your travels. Another nice idea would be to use images of major landmarks that you wish to visited or have already visited.

Display postcards.

Even though postcards are not popular these days, these make beautiful memorabilia when you’re traveling. So go buy some postcards or, if you have some from your travels, that’s even better. Frame them and display them on the wall, either above your bed, above the desk or anywhere else you think they would look good. The en-suite bathroom could also use some decorations.

Pictures and accessories.
