Summer is here and lots of people take that as a sign that it’s time to take vacation. Unless you’re a camper, odds are you spend your vacay nights in a hotel. Feeling comfortable in your home away from home is something that hospitality interior designers take seriously – and it shows from some of the posts we’ve uncovered this week.
Beyond hotels, this week's Top 5 Design Posts also feature the Lawn exhibit at the National Building Museum and a mountain retreat with all the bells and whistles. A staycation sounds great if it’s somewhere this cool!
