How to Decorate a House with African Décor

There are several steps to help you to décor your home with an African style:

1.) The palette is the first thing you have to decide upon when considering an African motif or African styled glass vases. You can go simple or go for something a little daring. Wall murals are one way to bring the feel of the jungle into your home. But if that is not to your taste start with some basic colors in the neutral palette. Beige works well with a stenciled border in a deep jewel tone.

2.) Furniture is the next step in this decorating project. The feel should be casual and a bit like you are in the great outdoors. Rattan is one of the chief furniture materials for a great African feel. For a more elegant and formal look hardwoods in rich colors will work just fine. Use large pieces with carvings and other interesting lines.

3.) The lighting in each room is very important. The more dramatic the lighting effects the more exotic the rooms will look and feel. Hurricane lamps, Moroccan lamps and even some of the native oil lamps will give the room the look of authenticity and provide a warm and exotic glow. Decorative lamps are very effective for creating an aesthetic ambience.

4.) Now it is time to consider the accents. You can buy everything from replicas of tribal masks to earthenware jars. Use the jars to put plants or other items in. Drums, cooking utensils from the country and woven baskets can all be utilized with great effect. The use of animal print throws and rugs will pull the entire scheme together beautifully.

5.) It is also natural to use candles as not only an accent but as a source of lighting.

Thus, hope this advice will help you when deciding the decorating of your room in African style.

You should choose leather sofas depending on your existing home décor: think about colors in your room. If the walls of your living room are light, you can bring some contrast to a living room by adding dark sofa. There are many styles and types of sofas, for example, sectionals, standard sofas, love seats. The choice depends on the size of the room.

Being versatile, leather sofas will be an ideal addition to the living room both traditional and contemporary; leather is a natural material, so it is flexible and it will not stretch out of its shape! Requiring only the simple clean up, leather sofas are easy to take care. However, do not let your children or pets to scratch it; otherwise it may be very costly to repair. Remember, even if leather sofas cost higher than fabric ones, the value of buying this piece will be apparent in some time.

First of all we will begin our talk about the design and space planning moments:

When we ponder the wall unit first of all we think about huge units that hold televisions and other electronics as well as books and miscellaneous items. Nevertheless we can display décor without taking up a 10-foot wall and we will do it with a recessed wall unit which ideal way to be the stylish piece of the interior and at the same time to be the place where different exquisite things can be showed. Prior to wall unit construction you should measure the complete work area, including wall, floor and ceiling dimensions. Take into consideration the location of obstacles such as window frames, electrical outlets and/or studs. Determine whether all working corners are true right angles (square), and whether the floor is level, the walls are straight, and the ceiling is flat. This process need to be done because of the risk to have the wall unit not corresponding with room dimensions. You can measure most rooms with a rule, but if the angles are irregular, it’s best to assure true vertical and horizontal measurements with the aid of a 4′ level and a carpenter’s square. You are to use these instruments in order to define any differences greater than 1/4″ and compensate accordingly in the space planning.

What is about the wall frame?

You should deal with defects in the surrounding wall, floor and ceiling by building the unit 1″ to 2″ smaller than the opening and trim it out with moulding after installation. The following step is in design sketching. This sketch is to include location of shelving and other items, such as cabinet doors, based on the measurements of the space.

Shelf Span and Design

As you should know appropriate shelving is vital for storage as well as the unit’s overall stability and durability. There is a rule of thumb which says that shelves should not span more than 42″, nor should they be any deeper than 18″. The most common shelf widths are 30-36″, and average depths are 8-12″. In order to eliminate the potential for sagging shelves it is strongly recommended to take an attempt to design the bookcase for having spans of about 36″ between supports, using standard 3/4″ thick shelving.

If you’ve decide to use North American hardwood as the material for the job the first moment you should consider is the wall unit application, how the built-in will be used. A bookcase, for example, must be able to accommodate both heavy reference books (a complete Encyclopaedia Britannica set weighs 133 pounds) and lightweight paperbacks.

Build the Frame

Construct the bookcase frame with dado and rabbet joints, created by fitting one piece of wood into the routed recess of another piece. A dado joint is in the middle of a board, and a rabbet joint is at the end of a board. While making the recess you should be very attentive because too deep recess can weaken the board. Make your recesses no deeper than half the size of the working material. Create a 1/4″ recess for the backing to attach on to the rear of the frame. Create rabbet joints for the top and bottom of the frame, and dado joints for the cabinet top and the permanent shelf. The wood glue is to be used to help hold the joints together of the top and bottom of the frame. Once the “box” of the frame is constructed, attach the 1/4″ oak backing into its recess. Fasten it with glue and screws every 6″. This will “rack,” or pull the frame together as you work on the remainder of the project.

Adding Shelf Strength

In order the shelf’s strength is to be increased it is better to attach a 1″ x 2″ hardwood apron to the front edge. Similarly, applying an apron to the back of the shelf creates the same effect, while not interfering with design. These aprons make the shelf almost 400 percent stronger.

Installing the Shelving

When the prepared frame is in place you’re left with about 56″ for shelf space. Install the permanent shelf near the midway point (around 68″), where you previously routed dado joints on each side of the built-in frame. (Taller bookcases – more than 8′ – should have permanent shelving every 3′). Glue the shelf into place, and secure it with diagonally entered screws from the bottom. While the fixed shelf provides structural integrity, additional adjustable shelves provide long-term storage flexibility. Normally, shelves sit 12″ to 15″ apart, but this can vary depending on how they will be used. Consider the items that will sit on the shelves and add 2″ for fingers to reach the top of each.

Remember that supporting hardware for adjustable shelves is relatively inexpensive and easy to install. You can use common shelf standards, or the more attractive shelf pins. You can choose the standards or pins that meet your project’s budget, decorative and/or load-bearing demands. Once you’ve drilled holes for the shelf pins or standards, the project is ready for on-site finishing. The key to a good finish is repeated sanding and multiple finish coats. Allow the finished hardwood to dry completely before installing the bookcase, and use specified hardware to mount the frame into the wall.

Several decades ago dimensions and design of furniture were exceptionally under influence of their manufacturers. Today every person can become a designer of his own furniture assembling wall units in according to his or her preference and necessity. For example one of us has big library which is need to be placed in wall unit but somebody prefer discs to books and he or she need to have special system of storage. To satisfy these options a wall unit exists. The modular wall unit can provide us with different options because the very advantage of wall units is their possibility to be reconstructed. For example you can modify the units, remove unnecessary elements and add the new one. By the instrumentality of such kind of furniture the sustained in integrate style home interior is created. The interior needs to be changed from time to time. The multiplicity of modular wall units is reached due to the possibility to change the same element. For example the frame of the cabinet can be furnished with anechoic front or add-on glassy hatch and thereafter the cloak-room or glassy show case will result. In such a way modular (self-contained) wall units are constructed and transformed.
