Gypsy Getaway - Summer Trends

In continuing with the travel trends of summer our yen for a summer getaway goes to the Bohemian side.

What once was the summer cottage now take wheels with the romance of a fairytale.

The Gypsy caravan inspires rich decor for romantic escape...

Pillows, drapes, beads, rich textiles, colored lanterns add to the decor of getaway of mobile luxury.

Add lots and lots of rich color. No pastels here.

Rich color statements like the  the flowers of summer cover these caravan getaways inside and out. They appeal to our lust for travel and romance, adding the touch of our fondness for fairy tales.

I believe there is a little gypsy in all of us.
