I cannot thank you enough for this primer on African interior design styles. I've been looking at pictures and videos of interiors for months now as I try to put together a space from scratch and the proliferation of minimalist Scandi / Japandi spaces in white / beige / grey is driving me mad 😅 I know nothing about design and various design styles, I only knew from the beginning I wanted a space that is colourful, lived-in, warm and cosy like a grandmother's house, and I knew which local art and objects I would incorporate into the space. God only knows why I didn't think to search for African interiors from the get-go. *COLOUR* (especially the yellow / ochres / terracotta / orange), patterns, texture, curves galore... I'm so happy this showed up in my recommendations ❤
I live for comments like yours.Thank you. Im excited for you as you try to create a space you love. I actually got a video on Afro-contemporary interior design style, since you love colour ,it may give you more ideas...check it out here.th-cam.com/video/Pla3QfhFrD8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HRlMUrrLzuymZBn1
African art design culture is indeed Beautiful; a trend setting culture with things borrowed and sampled around the world🌎 for centuries. Beautiful colors prints shapes of cultural meaningful smybols art in superb taste; how can anyone not be in awe.
I love the way you seperated the different African trends, From Luxury , safari , Contemporary. Variety to choose from. The interior decor is absolutely stunning. I really felt like going on holiday for some reason :D .
thank you for watching! Note:Finding pictures that are very specific to one style is hard,most people mix styles lately but i hope i explained well the elements of each style esp. when it comes to colours.
@@Ukundahome it definitely inspires so that when decorating we have ideas to work with. It's all part of the creativity yo even mix and create something that doesn't exist as well as beautiful 😄
It was so difficult for me to find modern African design aesthetics presented from the continent itself. So glad I found your channel! Subscribed and checking out ALL your videos now!

Texture, color, geometry, and hints of luxury typify what I think of as African core design elements. There's an ancient elegance in African design, it's holds tension in a very interesting way. I'm fascinated by the intricate geometric patterns that show up across African cultures over and over again for millenia and yet somehow looks very futuristic. I know many Africans hated the Black Panther movie but I thought it did a wonderful job showcasing how ancient African symbols, geometric patterns look futuristic and ancient all at once. That's very fascinating to me.
Agreed. It might not have been documented but its alive today which makes it futuristic and yet ancient. Talking of patterns ,think of the ruins of the shona people -the great zimbabwe wall ,it got this crocodile design which symbolizes fertility for women and we see the same pattern design for their recent airport tower building. Fascinating YEAH!

So proud of Africa and you for standing up for it.
I agree there is so much cultural appropiation and teft and audacity to put down Africans.
Thank you for watching. Im hopeful for better Africa even with colonial systems still operating, a "SHIFT" is coming .....
