Now that it’s officially summer, the siren call of vacation travel beckons. TV commercials, talk shows, even magazine headlines invite us to set our responsibilities aside for a couple weeks in order to seek adventure. Or at least, a little relaxation.

Although most of us will never pack a steamer trunk and sail off to Marrakesh, we can all summon pleasant memories (or cherished fantasies) of a favorite summer destination. Whether the get-away-of-choice is a rustic lodge in the mountains or a sun-drenched bungalow on the beach, it only takes the right image to transport us into a reverie in which every minute detail of a journey is brought instantly to mind.

That’s the sensation created by the Phillip-Jeffries Voyage Collection of hand-screened, naturally-textured wallcoverings.

This eclectic series of twelve boldly scaled designs are printed by artisans on a selection of handcrafted Manila Hemp, Linen, Japanese Paper Weave and Jute wallcoverings that are calculated to create a serious case of wander-lust.

From exotic arches and graphic circles to bold botanicals and sophisticated florals, the collection of over 70 items explores the world to bring a uniquely modern interpretation to design classics.

Call it shameless nostalgia, but we are smitten with the Ticking Stripe series. Offered in a varied palette of ten classic neutrals, this design reminds us of feather pillows, camp beds and the pleasures of a cool night’s rest after a long, fun-filled day in the sun.

Interior designers engaged in finding the right look for a resort or vacation home need look no farther. These wallcoverings appeal to the inner voyager in all of us.

Bon voyage.
