When it comes to interior design, using unique, beautifully crafted art pieces can add depth and dynamics to your living spaces. As such, African tribal artifacts, with their natural materials, character, and inviting tones and colors, have become a stunning way to decorate. If you’ve recently invested in these artifacts, sculptures, or original art, here are a few ways to create pleasing interiors. 

4 Ways to Decorate with African Tribal Artifacts

1. Create a Statement Wall

Instead of framed photographs, create a new motif by designing a statement wall using African tribal artifacts. Arranging masks and art pieces of various shapes, sizes, and patterns can create a visually-appealing and unique gallery wall in your living room or a hallway. 

2. Combine Artifacts With Art & Functional Items

One of the best parts about decorating with tribal artifacts is their versatility. Useful items like bowls, serving spoons, baskets, and blankets are crafted with such care and attention to detail they can easily be paired with paintings, sketches, sculptures, and decorative masks to establish a cohesive aesthetic that’s carried from one room to the next. 

3. Use Surfaces Creatively

Beyond hanging artifacts on walls, consider using other surfaces throughout your home creatively. Arrange these pieces in a quiet nook, in front of books on your shelf, or as a centerpiece on your dining table. Ladders, steps, countertops, unused chairs, and other flat surfaces are welcome homes for displaying your treasures. 

4. Mix Tones & Patterns

African tribal art can be vibrant, with bold colors and patterns. Other artifacts are crafted from wood and natural materials and have warm tones. Mix and match these patterns and tones for a daring effect. When juxtaposed against muted furnishings, you’ll create a truly cozy and special space.
