3 Tips to make your home feel African

Whether you’re looking to add some personality to your living room or style your house from top to bottom, little changes can make your home feel like Africa and if you love Africa as much as we do, why don’t you bring Africa into the comfort of your own home with simple elements we will be sharing with you on how to make your home feel African.

The beauty of this is that there is no part of your house that is left out. From your ante-room, welcoming visitors, to the innermost part which is your bedroom.

These 3 simple ways can make your home feel like you are in the Wakanda Republic:

1. African Wall Décor: With the growth of Africa’s Art market using paintings that tell African stories is a very good way to beautify your wall. However, if you are looking for something totally different, you can decide to hang some of the beautiful African masks or woven baskets made with textures from Africa on your walls. African sculptures can turn an ordinary house into a beautiful home. The secret is to choose the right sculpture that fits in with the rest of the decorations in the room.

1. Throws, Cushions and Duvets: A touch of throw pillows on a couch or a duvet on your bed will give you that spark when you combine the right colours and patterns. What I mean is a subtle touch of Ankara, Adire or Aso oke to your home without making it look like you are over-doing it.
2. Accent Furniture: Accent chairs are used to add colour, definition, and drama to interior space and can also set the style tone of a room. The good thing is you do not have to break the bank to get furniture pieces with the African touch. Fortunately, one of Nigeria’s finest furniture brand Tǽillὸ provides just that.

Finally, applying these 3 tips can magically make your home feel African especially for people with little or no design background. Trust me, when you mix it up a little you will fall in love again with everything in your home.
