و لكن في الطبيعة هناك مناظر تعطي الهام للمصمم بشكل اكبر .

و واحدة من اهم المناطق التي يأخذ منها هذا الطراز هي قارة افريقيا .

هناك الوان رئيسية في هذا الطراز و هي اسس التصميم و التمييز:

الاصفر
البرتقالي
الاحمر
الرصاصي
الخمري
البني
الابيض و البيج

و كما نرى ان نسب الالوان الباردة قليلة جدا نسبة الى الالوان الدافئة .

ان الاوان الدافئة تشعرنا بان الطبيعة في كل مكان حتى في وقت البرودة فهي تشعرنا بالدفئ و خاصة في المناطق الباردة يتم استعمال هذا الطراز بكثرة .

تصنع المواد المستخدمة في التصميم من مواد طبيعية تماما , مثل القش و الخشب و الطين و الاوراق و جلود الحيوانات .

فمثلا يمكننا اضافة الخشب للصور المعلقة او جلود الحيوانات للارضية او للكراسي .

يتميز هذا الطراز بالحرف اليدوية مثل التطريز و الزخرفة و الحفر على الخشب ، و هذا ما يعطي بعض التمييز و اضافة بعض الغرابة في المكان .

البعض ينظر الى هذا الطراز على انه شعبي و لكن بالعكس فهذه النقشات و الزخرفات هي لتحديد مكان القبيلة و هذا ما يميز المكان.

فمثلا يمكننا اضافة الزخرفة على السجاد او الكراسي او الستائر او المخدات .

و ينظر الى هذه القطع الى انها فريدة من نوعها بسب الطرق التي تم التصنيع فيها .

It may surprise you to know that a vast majority of the world’s interior design inspirations come from only two major geographical locations. Oftentimes, we look at mainly western concepts that take inspiration from various European nations and the design styles that come from there, as well as the east, where some of the ideas are more exotic in nature.

One of the areas that is often largely ignored the most is the continent of Africa. Believe it or not, the African style is one that we come across less frequently than we would probably like to. Now, however, the time has come to put all aspects of African style interior design and African home decor into focus!

Africa is a rather large continent, stretching from countries such as Morocco and Egypt in the north all the way down to Namibia, Mozambique, and South Africa in the south. Each country certainly has its own unique kind of interior design style; however, interior design styles from this region typically incorporate tones that are more earthy and neutral that also contain splashes of color.

The decor of Africa is inspired mainly by nature, as well as colorful fabrics, wild animals, and various kinds of traditional wood carvings. There are a number of reasons that people seem to find themselves inspired by African-type designs, with some enjoying the thought of going on a safari to take photographs, while others simply enjoy the various cultural and historical perspectives of the region

Regardless of what it is that inspires you the most, there are many different ways that you can utilize the African style into your own environment.

Utilizing design techniques that originate from foreign countries is not something that is so foreign to interior designers, as they have forever been using their own passports to come up with new and exciting ideas for their own projects. Perhaps the biggest and most popular trend right now is that of African-inspired interior design.

Since the African design style obviously originates from Africa, it’s no secret that the main colors of this style are more warm. Typically, you will see the following colors most of all:

Yellow
Ocher
Orange
Red
Burgundy
Brown
White milk podton

As you can see, there are practically no cool colors in this style whatsoever. Using these warmer colors will tend to make any space feel like it is being filled with sunlight, even on cooler days, and especially in environments where the sun is barely seen much.

Items used for home decoration in Africa are made out of materials that are completely natural, such as straw, wood, clay, and leaves. When you search for decor to use in your own home decorated in the same style, you should consider selecting pieces that are also made out of completely natural materials to help keep with the flow.

For example, select woven blinds for your windows or wooden frames for your photographs that will hang on the walls.

Wood, regardless of which form it is in, is extremely important to the overall African design scheme. If you are looking to go for a more “full-fledged” look, then earthenware and artifacts are both great ways to help express the African theme of your home as best as possible.

Additionally, many tribes throughout Africa are very passionate about different kinds of arts and crafts, which is something else that you can also consider for yourself as well. For instance, think about a story that you like that is closely associated with the continent and display it either with wallpaper or a fresco in wet plaster.

AFRICAN FLAVOR THAT IS MORE SUBTLE

If you do something as simple as throwing down a rug that has zebra stripes on it, that does not, in any way, mean that you have adopted the African style into your home environment. However, by combining small bits of this style with another design style, you can actually still be very successful.

There are many people who are already very familiar with different types of African-style motifs, such as “Ornament ikat” and “Zebra Pattern,” mainly from things that they have either seen or read about.

These two motifs are generally seen as being the most popular; however, there are many others that contain different types of tribal figures that are rather ubiquitous in the overall decor, as they can be seen on pieces such as bed linen, draperies, and woven mats.

Over many centuries, women in many different African tribes have been the ones to weave various fabrics and carpets, many of them containing these very motifs on them. These pieces are seen as being very unique because the images contained on them were created practically on the spot. Textile firms, on the other hand, normally produce multiple pieces focusing on African themes, meaning that finding the most appropriate kinds of textiles is really not that easy.
