Discover how the world around us can inspire meaningful, personal, and beautiful interiors with Travel Home authors Caitlin Flemming and Julie Goebel. Interior design experts and co-authors of Travel Home, Julie Goebel and Caitlin Flemming, are back to further explore what makes a house a home. For anyone looking to create a home that is personal, functional, and beautiful, it is essential to understand how our surroundings influence our interiors. When a space evokes a strong sense of place—a feeling of belonging and security—it becomes a sanctuary, surrounded by the people we cherish most. The colors and textures of a landscape or cultural traditions evoke nostalgic connections, and meaningful as well as inspired interior design will always reflect the broader context of a location.

The mother-daughter team Goebel and Flemming analyze the details of how top designers and creatives shape their homes by drawing inspiration from their surroundings. From the rural beauty of the English countryside to the streets of Mallorca, the warm desert palette of New Mexico, and the sunny avenues of Los Angeles, "Sense of Place" compares interior shots, outdoor landscapes, and local scenes to reveal the natural harmony between more than 20 homes and their environments. With practical tips and impressive essays, both interior design and travel enthusiasts will be inspired to shape their homes to reflect lived experiences.
