African art Interior design/ Décor

We can even see some African art in the interior design which also is seen in textiles. We can see it on the Bakuba cloths which come from the Kuba people in Congo. The African textiles shapes look all great on the sofas, armchairs and also on cushions. You can also vary the material like you can use them as table mats, curtain tiebacks also you can make up bags.

We also can see that there are two forms that are traditionally and also antique African décor also furniture and accessories. The tribal decor was most used in the antique furniture where these were used from the indigenous people of Africa. Nowadays the designers and also homemakers are also being able to mix them up in an electric style which also combines this element into the traditional and also in the modern furnishing and lends itself to stunning dynamic space.

This interior shot opposite uses classic furniture fashioned in a kuba-inspired printed fabric and a dark wooden coffee table displaying a mix of accessories including a contemporary glass bottle holder and a sincere African decorative artifact to provide a certain level of authenticity to the pattern.
