Turn your home into a summer escape with these travel-inspired ideas that feature prints and layered textures.
Published on: Apr 29, 2026 1:17 PM IST By Anukriti Srivastava Share via Copy link Summer often inspires a sense of escape, making it the perfect time to refresh our homes with spaces that feel light, warm, and full of stories. One trend gaining attention this season is travel-inspired decor, bringing the colours, patterns, and textures of different destinations into everyday interiors. It is not about recreating a hotel room or a holiday postcard, but about capturing the feeling of a place through thoughtful details. In conversation with HT Lifestyle, Smita Joshi, vice president, home textiles and exports, Nesterra (A Sutlej Brand, KK Birla Group), shared tips to turn your home into your favourite travel diaries.

A few prints, natural textures, and well-placed accents can make a home feel like your favourite summer destination, without ever leaving it,” she added. Those who love coastal destinations, soft whites, sandy neutrals, and shades of blue can instantly create a breezy atmosphere. (Unsplash)Play with colours
Smita highlighted that for those who love coastal destinations, soft whites, sandy neutrals, and shades of blue can instantly create a breezy atmosphere. You can either pick one or create a combination of these for your walls.Smart upholstery
Upholstery has the power to change the entire ambience of your space. Linen curtains, striped upholstery, and textured cushions help make a room feel open and relaxed. Smita said, “Natural materials such as rattan, cane, and ceramics complete the look without adding heaviness, ideal for Indian summers.” If tropical getaways are more your style, introduce leafy prints, fresh greens, and playful accents. Thoughtfully chosen fabrics and layered textures can bring a sense of individuality, turning even the simplest room into something meaningful.

According to Smita, cushions or accent chairs in botanical patterns can brighten living rooms and balconies, while lightweight throws add comfort. Keeping the larger furniture neutral helps these lively details stand out beautifully. There is also a growing love for interiors inspired by culture and craftsmanship. You can pick decor pieces that showcase the exquisite craftsmanship of India.Patterns are the key
“Homes today are embracing fabrics that tell stories,” Smita told HT Lifestyle. Jacobean florals, Kilim-inspired patterns, Persian paisleys, and bold geometrics in earthy tones are some of the trendy options that feel both timeless and modern. This can be used through curtains, upholstery, or statement cushions. These designs add movement and personality while still feeling balanced in contemporary Indian homes.
