The Best Places to Travel for Home Design Inspiration

When people travel to foreign locales they tend to come home with a lot more than a camera full of pics and a suitcase festooned with bedbugs. Many world travelers pick up pieces of their destinations and bring them home. For some people this could mean adopting a new style of dress or picking up trinkets from the local bazaar, while others will try their hand at learning the language or cooking traditional recipes when they return home. But one thing you may not notice is that visiting another country and culture has shifted your design sensibilities. So if you're looking for worldly inspiration before you start your home renovation, here are a few locales you may want to add to your travel list. 1. Rome, Italy.

Planning a wedding is one of the most stressful things a young couple can go through: thankfully you get to have a lovely holiday at the end of it. The honeymoon can sometimes be as extravagant as the big day itself, but with your purse strings already being tightened,  wouldn't  it make more sense to look for a holiday that’s a little less expensive?
