To create a truly personalized space, mix Indian inlaid furnishings with Moroccan lanterns and African mud pots and tribal masks with Afghan rugs.  Create an exotic world in your home where international culture gives your home a lived-in look.

Let your collected treasures from your travels lead you on a journey every time you step into your home.  If you have not traveled, acquire accessories from world markets and sources that sell handmade goods of international flair.  Flea markets and estate sales are excellent sources of worldly finds.

If you have traveled and collected items along your journeys, display them proudly and let the stories unfold.  Global chic style embodies the spirit of various cultures, allowing you to create a home that is distinctly personal.

For a burst of color and texture, install glazed Moroccan or Mexican tiles in the bathroom or kitchen.  Use them as accents or tile an entire wall.  Add accents and fixtures in bronze to complement these rich ceramics.
