European Landscapes Aren't Just For Europeans Anymore

Not all of us get to indulge that wanderlust inside

, that desire to hop on a plane, in a car, or on a bus and explore all the nooks and crannies of the world. Fortunately, the world is getting smaller, so they say, and now you can bring home a piece of it to reside in your cozy little domicile to be enjoyed without suffering through jet lag or culinary surprises. With the advent of HD technology, photographs can be displayed as large posters without losing any pixel quality.

In fact, the technology has gotten so good that those faded, slightly fuzzy wall murals of the 1970s are enjoying a resurgence - only, without the annoying visual problems of such ancient murals. Imagine waking up and walking immediately into a European landscape while your bedroom is most definitely located in downtown US city. A bathroom with a clear, breathtaking view of Provence or the Alps might be out of your price range, but not when you can take a photograph and paste it over entire walls.

Even if you don't want to feel like you're outdoors, beautiful photography and artwork of other vistas and scenic wonders can certainly enhance your home's interior.

One idea is to dedicate a wall entirely to landscapes, a sort of collection of places. Interspersing small, medium, and larger canvases, photographs, and mixed media artwork in one space can make even the most humble piece you own seem important.

You can also scatter such pieces among other wall art, hanging a photo of a beach sunset next to the portrait of one of your children who absolutely loves beach vacations. Landscapes create a sense of space, a way to open a room and invite the viewer to expand her vision beyond mere walls. For the home owner and dweller, such art can also serve as reminders of places visited, a glimpse of a dream, or simply a way to let your imagination run wild with possibility.

The great thing is that you don't have to be the one to take all those photographs or paint the paintings - although if you want to and have the opportunity, more power to you! Others have been there and have captured the essence of a foggy London street, a pastoral Italian vineyard on a sunny evening, hot Arabian deserts, or the greenery of the Amazon. All you have to do is decide which images best suit your fancy.
