African design styles and influences are commonly used in
holiday homes, villas and hotel rooms across the world. This year the trend has been showcasing
closer to home, as designers take advantage of this distinctive trend
which lends spark and character, exotic yet sophisticated look that can be
applied to any modern residence.
Animal imitations, geometric shapes, tribal masks, crafted
dark wood and graffiti are just a few of many different elements that can be
incorporated into an interior to give it the African feel. Bold colours and patterns play a big part in
this culture and also hold symbolic meanings. Although this philosophy has been somewhat
diluted over time, the use of mixed motifs and textures in a design can bring
feelings of peace and harmony along with a natural rustic ambiance.
Enhancing your home with influences and natural elements of
African design, whether a single item to a full on safari look, combines
comfort, style and culture to create a dramatic interior.
