Touring the homes of leaders in global design who share a deep affection for travel, the book explores interiors with influences as widespread as: Marrakesh Paris Cuba Tokyo Portugal And many more! Flemming writes in her introduction, “Our hope is that this book will serve as an inspiration, a rare opportunity to learn from those who have traveled deeply and are experts in the fields of design. We have learned so much while making this book, and we hope you will experience the same revelations by diving into these stories of design and travel. While some of us may travel less, we can all learn to look at the world with fresh eyes.” Vivid full-color photography by Peggy Wong is supplemented with insightful essays, interviews, and hardworking tips for cultivating your own global home. For globetrotters and armchair travelers alike, Travel Home showcases the interplay between travel and design, revealing how we can take inspiration from the beauty we experience in the world and bring it into our everyday lives. “The book is a study of how travel informs our taste.” ―Goop Review: Delightful!! - After reading this with Kindle, me thinks I shall get a paper version for my new coffee table as well. Would make a great gift for travel and decoration lovers. Review: Beautiful to look at and even better to read - This book captures everything I love most in life: design, photography and travel. Admittedly, I purchased it at first based on how it looks on the outside, but I was so pleasantly surprised when I started reading it. I loved the window into each designer's life and how their travels impact their design. The tips after each section were a very nice touch, and helps put readers put into practice many of the design ideas captured in the book. And the resource index at the end was great. I found two places in Chicago that I didn't know about before and will definitely be visiting in the future. Overall a wonderful book. It begins and ends with a wallpaper like graphic design that envelops the book in beauty.

Worth waiting for.
I ordered this book months ago. It was lost and then we refunded me. So I was a bit hesitant to order it again. I did and I’m glad I did. It’s full of great ideas and photos. Right up my alley!!!

Traveling makes you realize how similar and adverse the world really is
Travel home is over 280 pages of colorful and bright various decor of people who have traveled around the world. The pages are diverse complex, interesting, and thought-provoking. Every home has a story and every person is interesting and delightful to read about. Everybody has real life adventures and the decor to match. The book is quite heavy, and it was the most remarkable cardboard sealed envelope. It was vacuum, sealed, to create such suction that the book would not move in the cardboard structure. It was sealed so tight in the book was so protected I have never seen anything like it. The book is in wonderful condition, as though it had been opened once or twice before. I cannot talk enough about the vacuum sealed heavy envelope that it came in. A remarkable company.

Designer's thoughts on decorating and travel
While the type was too small to read on my Kindle, the pictures were beautiful. Bright rooms spiced with eclectic and natural finds.

Interesante...
Eclectico, sin estridencias e inspirador. Interiores con una decoracion muy bien seleccionada y una bonita fotografia. Se siente agradable el estilo estetico de los propietarios y la forma que muestran objetos que consiguen en sus viajes o como reflejan con su propio estilo lo que les gusta de algunos lugares que han visitado.
