Travel-Inspired Lounge Makeover

This travel-inspired lounge makeover was influenced by the style of Southeast Asia. See the details and learn how to decorate a room using a specific theme in this Wayfair.com video:

The style of Southeast Asia is marked by intricate patterns, rich colors, lots of texture and lush greenery, and all are incorporated into this lounge makeover.

The room begins with white daybeds, a jute rug and a wood coffee table and is accented with muted cushions, textured pillows, a Moroccan leather pouf, metal and wood side tables, and abstract city map art. A copper metal storage tray offsets the wood coffee table, while vintage books and glass lanterns add a unique touch. Hanging fern planters, a glass and metal candleholder and a crystal chandelier draw the eye up. Faux greenery and gauze curtains provide the finishing touches.

Here are several tips to keep in mind when decorating a room using a specific theme:

1. Be selective with your theme as it’s easy to go overboard and overwhelm the space.

2. Mix in neutrals for balance.

3. Layer in functional accents.

4. Add abstract wall art.

5. Use personal items as decor.

6. Don’t forget the ceiling.

7. Use faux greenery.

8. Hang curtains for privacy.
