A Danish Globetrotter Style
This home, featured in Danish Boligmagasinet, is another variation of the popular ethno-eclectic, globetrotterish, style theme. In it’s base very Scandinavian, palish and raw, yet stylishly refreshed with the ethno-inspired textiles and details. Nice to see some pineapples again! I especially fancy the sofa corner. The bucket of flowers and the painting completes it.
2011s Trend Guru: The Wayward Globetrotter
It is the last trembling days of 2010 and our minds are set on the happy new year to come. Trendwise I think the ethnic-eclectic is the most interesting new stylemix. Quite a few recent magazine issues have – in one way or another – refered to the globetrotterish way of decorating. Chicago Home + Garden Magazine (Jan-Feb-11 issue) speaks of the Global Warming trend and Sköna Hem (right pic) celebrates the wayward in their ’2011 Style Compass’: an antiques vs modern boho mix with a cohesive color scheme and a hodgepodge of travel memories, humor and art.
More Ethno-vibed Inspiration
I really like this new globetrotterish style. It’s coming like a bandwagon! These pics are pretty laid back yet they certainly have the ethno vibe going on. Message: Let the world be your oyster.

The New Ethnic-Eclectic
It has been said ethnic/global styles will be top trendy 2011. There will be a lot more on the etnic interior style theme in the year to come I can promise you, but as a starter I have the ultimate style example. Speaking of finds from around the globe, exotic textiles and that smashing eclectic harmony it cannot get any more inspiring than this!
It’s ultra-trendy and no surprise an interior decorator lives here.
The bench beneath the breath-taking painting is vintage gymnastics equipment.
This is what a home office looks like á la 2011 ethnic style! And below, a globetrotterish room for kids.
