Guest Picks: Hot Air Balloons Assist Decor Soar

Hot air balloons are easy to incorporate into any decor and a burgeoning trend. It is possible to discover balloon-themed items from all time periods, from the Victorian era to the ’50s release of Round the World in 80 Days, more mod styling of the ’60s and ’70s and the way to today. Though a number of these layouts are excellent in kids’ rooms or nurseries, I think a few of these would be stunning in a living room too, especially the cushions.

But the very first thing I must do is watch Round the World in 80 Days for some serious inspiration! Then I believe I will hunt down some my favorite worldly treasures to complete the look. I knew these ticket stubs from Paris will come in handy one day. — Mari from Small for Big

Paris Photograph, Hot Air Balloons Over Street by Eye Poetry Photography – $30

I love Paris, and that I love hot air balloons. This is such a beautiful and iconic picture. It reminds me of being in Paris myself, though I did not see hot air balloons. I think my amorous little brain imagined them anywhere.

You know, I am not sure I’ve ever seen the original picture, however, the poster has me convinced that I want to watch it straight away. I decorated my daughter’s nursery around a poster, and this one would be a fantastic place to begin for another room.

Etsy

Brooklyn Bridge Large Wall Poster by maybesparrowsplace – $80

At first glance this picture of the Brooklyn Bridge looks quite serious, but these hot air balloons come into attention and include a little levity.
