This article will help you find ways to add your favorite traveling location to your home without adding wallpaper.  ### Tropical Color Palette  ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/TOPhbv9ymB3wEGNKQDv0pOcCm0lKepfwE_C9KeVXwK0bNO0RPE-E-S7ngnKDFOTWSvH6GVpdWF55Mdihww4-cNyoOWchY36uKKRDtSE-jXHy9CSrE65P-uH7pHjJbLjLKAl1-Y79e7-g9yS4ic3IUbQ) If you’re craving the colors of the ocean or warm sand, add some light blue or neutral shades to your home. An accent blue wall with beach-inspired decor will put you right in your happy place every day.  Warm lighting will also pair well with the color palette.  ### City Color Palette  ![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/jXftHqatdY6lW4iRAGz1KkjqNfOTkKve-taPJHltRy2uMcvvKje8oEQ_TzdgdW6Fq_NlFIDYcSj1X6mBWrpWhrOs73I3_Mr93KtWMP2fq2rZ_hB46Jpzap7wYmrpXujyYDcnbyk3a9F9RJJgi58KowA) If you love exploring major cities like New York City, Los Angeles, or Chicago, consider adding dark colors to your space. Black, dark blue, or burnt orange. Lighter pinks and bright purples also can be incorporated into a city vibe.  All of these colors can be illuminated with string lights or bold light fixtures to accentuate the color.  ### Historical Color Palette  ![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/00q6FPdORxubuTLhxbgHduiA635kCvCk6Ils5qQcHYTfNNvpsIidZdJJF-CmLEdXBL9f9QobBcQKI4bxMFeuZlXK_niXwIJUxOdVovKu4r9K-7OhL1uQ7w5OB_cKfqoH-bh9rKZoTvyBCRGzTSq6In0) Historical landmarks have architecture and detail unlike anything else. Bringing this into your home can be done with off shades of white, beige, or light yellow. A vintage vibe could also include light browns and earthy greens. For a pop of color, use a deep red, blue, or orange! ### Nature Color Palette  ![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/v60MVy3FzqZfhR3weO_obLeXfc71A37ctzhLV2tzMqJQlbT16C6djtISTYxoRIdboLz74a2o1HOtz3xmApxYsBod5BXMP6UANEMCCHi1CMfzrdWxqRuNLVBHNggySIf0ghUAoCQgI96T5vnMmTsykdc) Mountains, rivers, lakes, and forests are easily expressed in colors as nature is where colors originated from. Almost any shade of blue and green perfectly represents nature. These colors are very calming, which guarantees the same feeling of serenity you experience in nature. ## Bring your vacation color palette home This year, it’s time to be surrounded by things and colors that make you happy.
