8.  Mud Cloth Table Runner - Reflektion Design

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your home decor with bright colors, bold patterns, and unique textures. A mud cloth table runner is a perfect addition to your spring decor collection. This traditional African fabric is not only beautiful but also rich in cultural history.

Mud cloth is a hand-woven cotton fabric that is dyed using a process that involves applying mud to the cloth to create intricate patterns and designs. The result is a beautiful, earthy fabric that is rich in texture and history.

It is often used to add a touch of cultural elegance to a dining table or coffee table. They are also durable and can withstand regular use and washing.

In addition to being a functional piece of decor, a mud cloth table runner can also serve as a conversation starter and an opportunity to share the cultural significance of mud cloth with others.

7. African Masks Wallpaper -  Nalo Hopkinson

We often think of painting the walls when a room calls for a revamp but wallpaper is just as impactful maybe even more so because with it you introduce bold patterns like this one by Nalo Hopkinson. This African inspired wallpaper is called Akuaba Greys and features an amazing African mask motif that pops off the electric blue background. What I love most about this wallpaper (besides the pattern and colors) is there's a removable wallpaper option perfect if you're renting or like to change things up often.

 

6. Fuchsia Ankara Fabric Pillow Covers - Reflektion Design

 

A perfect example of Afro modern style, these fuchsia, black and yellow African print fabric pillow covers blend African patterns with eye popping colors effortlessly. That vibrant pattern is icing on the cake and a definite conversation starter.

If you have been looking for decor to liven up your home these Ankara pillow covers fit the bill and would add a level of worldly sophistication to your sofa, bed or favorite chair.
