The evolution we see in Fashion and lifestyle offers a new way of thinking – a feeling of African-inspired eclecticism. At the heart of this philosophy we can witness the fusion of world styles deeply referenced to the African culture and themes. The creative use of african inspired themes, like zebra decorations, handy crafts, vibrant colours all  in interior design and other accessorizing concepts allows us (admirers of African lifestyle and fashion, buyers, clients etc) to develop personal spaces that reflect our origin, attitudes and styles. Be inpired!

With African wax prints really taking off in fashion, I am sure we will be seeing much more of this trend in interior design in future.
