The best globes for a stylish man's home

A Globe
Is an Essential Piece for Any Man's Home

Stylish and masculine, they inject a sense of history into your place

When you want to navigate your way around, you'll pull out your phone and open a GPS-enabled app. But when you want to scratch your wanderlust itch and dream of going new places, nothing beats an old fashioned globe. If you ask us, every man should have a globe in his place. They're not only tools of inspiration but starters of conversation—have a few people over and someone will inevitably start spinning the globe.

Plus, you want your home to convey a unique and collected feel. And a handsome, masculine object like a globe not only adds some color and texture to the space, but it also injects a sense of history into your home. Along with personal heirlooms and mementos from your travels, there are some items that just always look good in a man's space. Invest in an antique or pick up a more reasonably priced reproduction. If you don't want to drop a lot of scratch on something fancy, scour a local vintage shop or Goodwill store for one that's been beat-up but still looks cool. Then tuck it into a bookcase, sit it on a coffee table or atop a stack of books, and appreciate the stylish sentimentality it brings.
