However, strong and influential art like African art can’t always be used to design interior, but you can always use it as accent pieces with your home decor.

The house’s entrance has so much character and gives a very satisfying feeling to walk through it. Just after the door there’s animal skin decor lying on the floor, which is very traditional to African culture. All contemporary pieces used in the hallway including the wood-pane glass doors and glass table are very strong pieces. Also, take a look at how beautifully the interior designer has picked complementing African accent pieces and framed it on the wall in a shadow box.
