Tribal Touch

If you are following an African theme, every inch of your home should follow along. With a little research, you can fill your home with many elements of African designs. For your living room, this can be as simple as a giraffe or elephant printed cushion set. Fill the tabletops with fauna-inspired accessories and complement them with an au naturel wooden lamp.

In addition to this, you can also dive into the pool of tribal textiles. Ranging from linens to the cushion sets, colorful African patterns will add eclectic character to your room. For some fun, indulge in an animal print rug in the center of the room.

If you really want your theme to stand out, this Traditional African Multi Panel Canvas Wall Art will captivate the attention of anyone that enters the room. You will feel an African beat all around you by embracing a tribal touch.

Earthy Shades

African homes hold an organic and earthy feeling. Rich in deep orange, ochre, and mustard shades, Africa is home to warm and welcoming colors. Play around with light and warm hues to see what suits your personal style.

Indulge in accent walls and paint them with a shade of mustard. That bright accent wall in your living room will show up beautifully behind classic wooden furniture. Likewise, your bedroom can hold dusty brown shades with accents of ochre yellow.

Give your home a natural, African feel. Ground your walls with earthy and warm shades, while maintaining a simple, minimalist style.

Invite Natural Elements

Africa is rich in crafts and handmade designs. Every African home is loaded with natural elements connecting them to their culture and the earth.

For unique character and functional storage, place a couple of woven baskets in your room. Decorative, hand-carved wooden bowls are great conversation pieces. A classic jute rug might be just what you need on your laminate or tile flooring.

Embrace natural, handmade African items and lighten up your space. If they are authentic, you will not only have an unparalleled home décor, but you are also supporting developing economies.

Classic Furniture Ideas

A table made from African Ghana teak wood will certainly make your room feel African. Add some Adinkra symbolism, and you have a really cool conversation piece. The Sankofa symbol shows a bird turning backward to take an egg from its back and it illustrates the importance of learning from the past.

If you are looking for seating options to accommodate additional guests, consider a couple Tripolina chairs. A brown leather seat will give you a simple, rustic look. The best part is that they fold up, so you can stow them away when you don’t need them.

Finally, consider a rattan chair with decorative cushions. Rattan furniture isn’t just for your porch anymore. Today’s intricate rattan designs are suitable for any room and will add subtle complexity to your décor while maintaining your natural motif.

Some Last Thoughts

Your home décor experience is all about having fun, making your home comfortable, and decorating it with items you will enjoy looking at every day. When you adorn African beauty all around your home, you will be mesmerized by the charm and feel like you are on vacation every day.

So, what are you waiting for! Go ahead and turn your home into an African abode!
