If you can’t afford an exotic safari trip, you may as well bring African tribal elements home and into the four walls of your own space. This season, the globalization trend is reigning supreme in the world of interior design, bridging worlds through art and home accents. For anyone wanting to transform a downtown condo or suburban home into the ultimate tribal escape, try mastering this trend right now.
Turn to woven chairs and neutral tribal print pillows: If you’re wondering how to edge your way into the tribal look, start off with simple yet functional woven chairs in your living room. Meanwhile, tribal inspired pillows in shades of dark brown and white can subtly offset the wicker seats. Beige carpeting and woven wall art with a tribal twist helps to elevate this trend further, and showcase a keen sense of design.

Adorn your space with white tones and funky tribal furnishings: For a crisp effect against the tribal scheme, look no further than earthy shades and off-white hues. A creamy sofa pairs effortlessly with coordinating pillows and simple linens. Add a carved, sculptural end table, blankets in shades of beige and rustic woven baskets.

Embellish your space with a decorative tribal tapestry: If you’re not quite ready for wall-to-wall tribal accents, begin your decorating journey with a hanging fringed tapestry. Embroidery, traditional depictions of animals and bright shades can transform an otherwise understated wall into a beautiful statement.
