Greece

The Grecian way of life is admired by one and all. From days lounging by the Mediterranean Sea to evenings spent devouring deliciously cooked cuisines, Greece lures us in with its simple beauty. One of the more popular tourist attractions in Greece is its capital city Athens. It's no wonder why, thanks to a history deeply rooted in ancient culture, Athens maintains monuments of the past, like the Acropolis. The beauty of this ancient city is truly unique and rare in the world.

Besides its history, Greece is better known for its picturesque islands. Tourists flock to Mykonos and Santorini to soak in the sun and sail across surrounding waters, hopping from one island to another in a single day. There’s much to see, and each island has its own unique style and design. While Santorini boasts those iconic white houses with blue rooftops and Kefalonia’s colourful houses contrast the pristine blue of the Mediterranean, every Greek island looks postcard-perfect and like an image straight out of a brochure. 

Every little detail in Greece looks like something out of a travel magazine. From the delicately designed cafes to the large pots of vases that spot staircases, and the rows upon rows of umbrellas that dot white sands and overlook turquoise waters, Greece is a sight of beauty. The cypress trees that adorn the islands are gorgeous as are the secret swimming spots few know to travel to. When it comes to picking out wall art for your home, there’s no gambling with images of Grecian islands as they are admired by one and all.

France

France is the country of art, romance, elegance, and delicious pastries. France attracts city lovers to its capital of Paris, while sight seekers sail down the French Riviera, and art lovers flock to the many museums that surround the Seine River.

Dress up to the whole nine yards when you visit the gorgeous Palace of Versailles or enjoy the unique French gastronomy found in the country’s smaller towns. All in all, France has much and more to offer anyone seeking beauty.

One of the more iconic landmarks around the world is the Eiffel Tower. Tourists dine at restaurants surrounding the magnificent tower, enjoying gourmet meals at a leisurely pace and some of the world’s best wines. In the City of Lights, thousands flock to take their photo beside the iconic Eiffel Tower to such detriment that you can’t help but catch other tourists in these images.

Speaking of tourist attractions, one of the most visited and out-of-the-way spots in Italy is the quaint quiet town of Cinque Terre. Made up of five coastal villages, the town’s name translates to ‘five lands’ and it’s famous for its hiking trails, picturesque sights, and the crystal-clear Italian Riviera the houses gaze into. Images of Cinque Terre are loved thanks to the bright and colourful pastel-hued houses that adorn the coast. The houses are nestled together in an explosion of colour, making images of Cinque Terre some of the most beautiful to adorn the home.

Say the word ‘Venice’ and one will conjure up images of pristine lagoons speckled with gondolas, endless plates of pasta, and amber lights adorning the over 400 bridges that connect the small islands. Venice is magical. Venice is a city of wonder, discovery, love. Venice is for the romantics, for the foodies, for the lovers of art. The city is inspiring in every way, and images of its waterways, unique architecture and iconic landmarks inspire beauty within us. It’s an immensely photogenic city and looks beautiful at any time of day, specifically so at the golden hour. Hang your own little piece of Venice in your home to inspire beauty and wonder.
