Today people
are spoilt with the designer solutions offered in any spheres of life to choose
to meet the preferences and tastes. It is not difficult at all to find the
applicable solution to any problem regarding interior design. And today extraordinary
interior design is more than preferred. The hot African style is too exotic to
think of something more encouraging and provoking the fantasy. Thus, the Afro
style appears to be one of popular styles among those who tend to live in
ethnic beauty. Hot Nubian pretty girls and charm f the primitive violent
sensitivity felt on the level of subconsciousness, excitement of a lion hunter
and bliss of midday African heat – all these are the images the interior
provides made in motifs of the black continent.
Approaches
and peculiarities of Afro style
This style is
close to the virgin nature and thus, it offers use exclusively natural
materials like leather, wood (of rough processing), cotton, flax, elephant
ivory, natural and artificial stone, ceramics and clay. Rather unusual elements
are often exploited when designing interior like canine teeth of predators, натураnatural skin, stuffed animal, wooden
and metal figurines of erotic nature. All these elements create the particular note
of blend of wild nature and furious passion. Therefore, due to such elements the
African is so unique and colorful that is proves to be called one of most
wanted interior style for many celebrities who tend to design their cottages
and outskirt housing in this style. So, Helen Mirren and her husband, the
director Taylor Hackford used the African motifs to decorate their cottage in New Orleans.
The ceramic
tile serves as the floor covering in the African interior like the ceramic
granite with the torn edges that imitates the natural stone in finest details, flagstone,
stone block, floor boards from the black wood or as an alternative, the wood tint
to black or the stained wood. The light-color carpet or the natural skin of
beast can serve as the core oft the interior in the large space to attract the
attention at first sight.
The suitable
furniture is from the natural wood, often of rough processing. The interesting variant
for the sitting-room is the blend of module wall unit of black color and the sofa
of ivory of the laconic design. The simple geometric figures make the rough and
heavy furniture more elegant and festive and thus, the afro style implies the
clear graphic models.
When
creating the colorful feeling of the black continent the folk ornaments should be thoroughly considered. The ethnic motifs
appear in zigzags and circles of bright rainbow colors styled in figures of
humans and animals. The color splashes on pillows, plaids and paintings build
the feeling of fullness of the space with sun, joy and positive energy.
Masks, necklaces,
bulky heavy wooden bowls, wooden figurines of rough work and various ritual
elements of the heathen culture add some vivid accent when emphasizing the
energy of the place.
The drapery
from the velvet with the predator prints, the leather furniture, the elements
trimmed with fur and leather, the creamy-chocolate-coffee color gamut to décor
the walls, floors and the ceiling plus the high mood are always appropriate.
The
interior in afro style requires considerable investments since the furniture
from the ebony was too costly even in Ancient Egypt. The high quality durable
furniture from the fine wood, ethnic accessories, soft furniture with
upholstery of the crocodile or reptile skin cost fortune. And the feeling of living in such an
atmosphere is worth spending assets.
Once you
come to the idea to have the African interior in your place, you are welcome to
purchase the elite furniture manufactured by BELLUTTI, Еrnestomeda and other manufacturers. So,
the kitchen unit by Еrnestomeda
with the wenge pane will take you 20.000 USD without built-in units.
Afro style
in your place
Your
kitchen will sing in accord with African motifs if you choose the elegant
kitchen unit with the pane from the exotic tree wenge. The floor covering with
the system of heating is required to stroll barefoot at home, whether the
ceramic granite of ivory shade, imitating the flagstone or he flagstone itself.
Some accessories placed appropriately of lovely color and a couple of black
bowls will add some juicy ethnic notes and make the interior completed.
The
furniture with the reptile upholstery will be the zest of your living-room. Get
the modular wall unit from the thick fine wood of black color or ebony or tint
as black. A painting with the ethnic scene or the installation from natural
materials matched with the details painted vividly makes the interior more
intensive and transcendental.
Cover the
plain wooden bed with a skin of beast or a bedspread with the predator print.
When creating the intimate atmosphere, get some candles of ivory color. Some
ritual masks and authentic sculptural figurines of passionate women shapes fix
the reality of the scene. The African style is the luxury of natural minimalism
in your house.
