A global look is definitely a design trend lately and I am really beginning to love this look plus it is SO simple to create. Here are a few design boards I created to get you thinking and a few simple tips for how to create a global look in your home.

1. Use Rich, Bold Colors
A global look uses rich bold colors in the designs. Try a chair, side table, or pillows to add these colors. An area rug will add these beautiful colors also!
2. Add Shine
Next, add shine to the look by adding a floor or table lamp, or metal side table.
3. Texture & Pattern
This is the easiest and most fun to add to this look. Lamp shades, side tables and lamp bases easily add texture to the design while pillows add pattern. When I think of creating a global look, I think of damask, ikat and small floral prints. An area rug is an easy way to add these two elements also!
If you have a global look and feel to your home - please send pictures, I would love to see it and share them on my blog. If you like this look and would like help creating this look in your home, let me know, I would be glad to help you out!
