African Tribal Home Decor Sourcing
Bold colors, captivating textures, and rich cultural heritage, are all words that can somehow describe the African tribal home decor. Each year, we go with a team of experienced people, and we select and import the most beautiful, rare and unique African tribal home decor. Explore the diverse artistic expressions of African tribes and bring the vibrant spirit of Africa to your home decor.
Journey with us beyond the ordinary. Moroccanstyled brings the soul of Africa directly to your home with our collection of unique, handcrafted treasures. Each year (and sometimes at our clients' request), we embark on overland expeditions across Africa, venturing into remote villages to source the most authentic and exquisite tribal artifacts.
The Artistic Expressions of Different Tribes
The Maasai:
Renowned for their vibrant red shukas (robes) and intricate beadwork.
Decorative baskets, jewelry stands, and sculptures adorned with geometric patterns and colorful beads.
The Zulu:
Celebrated for their strong sense of community and geometric artistry.
Bold black and white patterns, animal motifs like shields and spears.
Handcrafted ceramics imbued with symbolic meaning.
The Yoruba:
Renowned for their bronze sculptures and woodcarvings depicting deities, spirits, and everyday life.
Yoruba art adds a touch of cultural richness and storytelling to your home.
Imagine a hand-carved Yoruba mask or a sculpted fertility figure gracing your bookshelf.
The Dogon:
Famed for their intricate masks used in ceremonial dances and their impressive architecture.
Dogon art features stark geometric shapes, stylized figures, and a focus on the spiritual realm.
A handwoven Dogon textile or a miniature replica of a granary could be unique conversation starters in your home.
How to Weave African Tribal Decor into Your Home:
Statement Pieces: Make a bold statement with a large, hand-carved sculpture or a vibrant wall hanging showcasing a specific tribe's artistic style.
Textile Accents: Add a touch of texture and warmth with handwoven throws, cushions, or tapestries featuring geometric patterns or symbolic motifs.
Curated Collections: Create a mini-gallery wall showcasing masks, figurines, or ceramic pieces from a particular tribe or combine elements from various cultures for a more eclectic look.
Functional Art: Incorporate functionality with beauty. Use a handcrafted basket for storage, a beaded jewelry stand, or a decorative bowl as a centerpiece.
More Than Just Decor, A Celebration of Culture:
African tribal decor is more than just aesthetics; it's a way to connect with the rich cultural heritage and artistic expressions of a diverse continent. Each piece you incorporate tells a story and becomes a conversation starter, sparking curiosity and appreciation for the beauty of African artistry.
Sourced with Passion & Ethical Practices:
At Moroccanstyled, we are committed to ethical sourcing practices. Our annual expeditions (and client-requested sourcing trips) are undertaken by land, allowing us to build genuine relationships with artisans in remote villages across Africa.
