How to Make Home Feel Like a Hideaway

Patti Sunio recommends home goods that can imbue the home with a sense of adventure.

For most people, to travel is to escape into a different world. Urbanites, when in need of a break, escape to seek out the views of mountains or beaches instead of skyscrapers. Provincials, when in need of a different pace, go to the city for a rush. Similarly, we retreat to our homes to escape from the outside world. If you know where to look and what to welcome in, your home can likewise be your hideaway and your beautiful escape. Think of cool, crafty pieces and campy, clever designs that let your imagination roam free.

Below, see home goods recommendations from lifestyle editor and writer Patti Sunio, who often seeks out life outside the city.
