    It's time to spice things up at home, and not just in the bedroom either! While we would all love to be jet-setters and fly off to exotic places halfway across the world, it is not a possibility for many of us due to money, time or both. Although the mysticism of far away lands may be enticing, but not quite within reach at the moment, these sumptuous luxuries and richly saturated materials can be brought back and enjoyed in your own home. With ethnic African and safari-inspired prints that make your living area feel like a trip to the savannah, richly saturated and beautifully decorated rugs and home accents that make you feel like you're laying back in a Persian palace, and the minimalist sophistication of Asian-inspired pieces that help give you a peaceful and meditative state, you can take a trip around the world in the comfort of your own home. Click on the slideshow to see some home decor that will add the alluring glamour of distant destinations to your living space.

    There are many times in my life where I would love to get away from it all and go to an exotic Asian country to enjoy the beautiful sights and delicious food. So when I looked online for plane tickets, the four figured price tag promptly stopped my plans for the whirlwind vacation. While I can't afford to transport myself to another country, I can certainly transform my home to at least reflect my imaginary travels! Seeing a well decorated home with Asian-inspired objects makes me think the the owner is sophisticated and well traveled so what's not to like about that? You can start out small like this pagoda wine bottle stopper from Saks Fifth Avenue for a bit of Asian flair whenever you're entertaining. If you're looking for a total room makeover, add a koi rug. Now you can sit back, light some incense, and imagine yourself into another world. Click my slideshow to see more Asian-inspired goodies you can get without a plane ticket!
