Light walls and warm colors
True traditional African houses are huts with clay walls. So if you want an African interior , finish your walls with something similar, such as plaster or similar wallpaper. In addition, make sure that you choose warm colors. The African nature is always warm in colour, a characteristic that you can also bring into your home: yellow, orange, ocher, burgundy red, red, brown, and so on!
Choose dark wood furniture with ethnic prints or animal skins upholstery
Dark wooden furniture is perfect if you want to go for an African interior ! You can also opt for a covering with ethnic prints or (faux) animal skins: this completes the picture. African paintings with animals also fit well with this!
African figurines, pottery and masks
Wooden figurines and masks are important objects in the life of African tribes: without them you don't have an African interior ! Often these figurines have wrong proportions, for example with remarkably long legs or hands. Masks and African pottery also fit well in an African interior . These pieces are exactly what you need to give your interior an African feel.
