Your walls are dressed in ethnic decorations

Ethnic wall decoration, a trend that makes you want to go elsewhere

Not to be confused with the gipsy style, ethnic decoration is not synonymous with colorful colors and busy patterns, it is borrowed from various cultures in a spirit of sharing and curiosity. Its characteristic:knowing how to integrate objects from elsewhere in a modern environment. For example, you can combine African masks with a contemporary sofa with clean lines, or combine a photo representing a portrait of African customs with a designer pendant light.

African masks bring a touch of authenticity to the decoration

Coming from distant lands, African masks fascinate. Generally in exotic wood, they represent strange, almost hypnotic faces. Varnished or painted in bright colors, they fit very easily into a modern decoration. For example, you can hang one or two above the sofa. Their graphic shape allows them to match a contemporary painting or photographs.

When they are colored, African masks can serve as decoration in a child's room. They immediately give personality to the room thanks to their original shape.

Create a chic ethnic decor with an African painting

All it takes is one painting to radically change the atmosphere of a room. For an ethnic atmosphere, display a monumental painting that illustrates the cultural richness of Africa (portrait, traditional make-up, daily life). If you have a contemporary interior, favor a black and white photograph and add some ethnic elements (woven baskets, rattan armchairs, etc.). You can also arrange several paintings and some masks to create an original wall composition.
