4 Pro Design Tips to Infuse African Inspired Décor into Your Living Space

1. Don’t rush the process.
While you may have just moved into your first home, relocated, or seeking to revive your space, whatever your reason, be deliberate about the décor items you place in your space. While Pottery Barn, Bed Bath & Beyond, and other treasure thrift stores may get the job done, we guarantee you’ll soon get tired of mismatched décor. Choose sustainable living. Consume less of what is readily before you, and instead buy pieces that will continue to inspire you.

2. Invest a little more now & save a lot more later
The danger with treasure hunting and thrift shopping is instant gratification. You end up with pieces you love in the spur of the moment, and perhaps for the first few months after purchasing. But one morning, you pass by the piece and wonder what drew you to it in the first place. Then you want to replace what you bought. On average, customers spend more buying pieces that they like in the spur of the moment, than pieces they have chosen to deliberately collect and love.

3. Collect, Don’t Clutter
The beauty of being deliberate is you are left with enduring valuable pieces, which you will cherish year after year. Each time you pass the piece, you develop a new appreciation and affirmation of your choice, remembering why you purchased it in the first instance. Artwork, artisanal dining décor and wall sculptures are fine pieces that accentuate, without overwhelming.

4. Pair like a Pro
Like everything in life, the key to crafting a breathable living space is balance. Add depth to cool beige tones with our sculptures like the fisherman sculpture. Orange is an instant uplifter and brightens spaces. Use our art pillows to add instant brightness to your living space. To soften hard, contrast these with rounded coasters or vases. This not only works for minimalist pieces but also vintage pieces, as they add a balanced flair of contemporariness to vintage furniture.

Why we Love the Jayden

The Jayden is a deeply striking piece for a number of reasons. The adornment of this young babe with a crown signifies the God given potential of every human being to live without limitation and dream without hindrance. While the gaze of the child is innocent, unsure of life's precarious obstacles, the crown remains firmly planted, unshaken by the unknown. To us this piece is poignant because it begs the question to its beholder: Will you own your God given place on earth? Segun Phillips created the term "woodism" in the late 2000s to describe his unique style of creating a wooden textured effect. We've chosen to curate this piece because its authentic style showcases the creative talent that exists in the African continent. Segun began his art journey in 2010 and has since won national competitions and is an emerging artist gaining recognition globally.
His pieces are attainable for new and seasoned collectors alike.
