DIY Girls brings you Modern Afro-inspired style

As we move into 2022, the trend for modern Afro-inspired style remains strong in homes, hotels and lodges across the globe. Exotic touches for a sophisticated look that lends itself to a modern interior space, while creating an inviting atmosphere where you just want to relax and indulge yourself contributes to the charm of this design style.

Often characterized by bold geometric patterns, distinct textures and a versatile use of earthy and vibrant colors, there are many elements available to us locally that can be combined to add an African touch.

“Inspired by the spirit of Africa and diversity of our surroundings – our people, our fauna and flora as well as our majestic animal life, the DIYgirls team has designed a range of functional Afro-centric pieces that will add a touch of local flavour and ethnic elegance to any contemporary interior,” says, says Vinette Diab Nicholls, founder of DIYgirls.

What sets modern African decor apart from the more traditional way of decorating in this style, is the mix of modern and organic materials in a more minimalistic way. Interiors are clean and bright; and the focus is on one or two decor items that add vivid pattern, colour or texture to a room.

Inspired by the organic lines of tree branches that focus on the materials and allows the wood to dictate its natural form, the Isikhulu floor lamp is the epitome of fine design married to superior natural materials.  It offers a tasteful lighting solution that is both functional and a work of art, adding unique style and character. Carefully crafted by hand this lamp is unique in its design and made with quality craftsmanship and the attention to detail. Made-to-order and available exclusively at www.DIYgirls.co.za
