10 African Living Room Decor Ideas

Africa is a continent known for its beautiful landscapes, so we be bringing that beauty and the interesting features into our home.

Using dark wood, lots of warm colours and abstract shapes often inspired by human life, we can incorporate African design into our homes by adding a couple of abstract ornamental pieces, or by weaving African style into the entire design of a room or our entire home.

We are sharing ten fantastic examples of homes that have incorporated African style into their living rooms, ranging from elaborate and ornate styles that encompass entire African living rooms, to minimal and subtle touches that add splashes warmth and interest to a room.

1. Splash Of Colour

Adding pinks, reds, and oranges to your home with dark and warm toned woods can bring a touch of Africa to the most subdued and simple rooms.

2. Orange And Checkerboard

Much of this room carries an orange tone, such as the lamp, chair, and wooden table. The silver urn and checkerboard feature maintain the African theme but act as cool contrasts to the warm orange hues.

3. Minimal African Touches

This room isn’t overtly African themed, but the warm orange table, abstract shaped vases and wooden spiked mirror all bring subtle touches to this stylish room.

4. African Souvenirs

Perhaps the best way to add a touch of Africa to your home is to collect your own items from Africa. These beautiful busts and vases set a wondrous tone for the entire room.

5. Warm And Comfy Living Room

This very ornamental living room has found the perfect balance of space, colour and texture by using cooler colours to balance the warm hues, and interesting textures.

6. Chic Dark Woods

Contrasting interesting mirror and dark woods against a plain and simple living room brings a splash of African style to this living room, but the darker hues add depth and a story to the room.

7. A Touch Of Fun

A wider look at this room and we can see how the large room has used subtle touches of African style décor to make the room much more interesting and welcoming.

8. African Dining Room

Orange hues, dark woods, and an elaborate rug show how a more intense African theme can look great and not swamp an entire room.

9. African meets Modern

This large living room is a perfect meeting point of African woods, oranges and artwork together with modern furniture and sleek finishes.
