How to Shop for the Well-Traveled Look Online

Want your home to look like it's been meticulously curated by a world traveler, but you're not going overseas anytime soon? No problem. The Internet brings faraway things very near, including furniture and decor. Here are our tips and sources to help you amass a collection of global finds within a few clicks.

The Loaded Trunk: Founded by global shopper Roni Jaco, the Loaded Trunk is an online source for textiles, artwork, and housewares. There's a really nice selection of Suzanis, Mexican bedspreads, and Herki rugs from Turkey (shown left, starting at $1,000).
