Be inspired by design from around the world to give your home a little exotic flavour. Whether you’re a fan of Moroccan decor, Japanese design, tribal prints, or tropical plants, you can find inspiration for all world-themed homes around the UK and the world here on Houzz. You can’t define the whole world’s style, but if you want to add Moroccan decor to your home then it’s about lanterns, jewel-bright colours, intricate detailed patterns, arched windows and lots of lavish textiles, while Japanese design incorporates natural wood, neutral colours, clean lines, vibrant greenery and minimalist furnishings. For an addition of African style, look for tribal prints, wooden pieces and pottery.

Gardens can be a great place to introduce a world-inspired theme. Simply pick the right plants and add a few small features to complete the look. Bamboo and other grasses, plus pretty climbing plants around pergolas or arbours will create a calming Japanese garden design, while Moroccan garden lanterns, exotic plants and bedouin-style outdoor seating will create a wondrous Moroccan sanctuary in your back garden.
