From traditional motifs to modern interpretations, Afrocentric aesthetics will fill your home with warmth and distinctive charm
Out of AFRICA

Africa’s design influence reaches far beyond its borders, inspiring designers worldwide. It seamlessly blends hand-made craftsmanship with modern innovation, resulting in spaces that exude a soulful allure and embrace the spirit of the continent. The beauty lies not only in the aesthetics but also in the stories and cultural significance behind each design choice. African décor invites us to explore and appreciate the depths of its history, offering a window into the diverse narratives and artistic traditions that define the continent.

It’s not just a trend; it’s our heritage too. Embracing the rich and vibrant culture of our own continent in our homes can create a captivating and unique atmosphere. With a mix of authentic traditional prints, natural textures, rustic furniture, hand-crafted pieces and locally made art, you can bring a touch of African flavour to your living space that’ll infuse your home with the beauty and spirit of the Motherland.

Play with pattern

African prints are renowned for their bold colours and eye-catching, kaleidoscopic patterns. These vibrant prints can easily be added to your home through scatter cushions, throws, upholstery, curtains or even framed fabric or woven art.
