In order not to make false notes, here is a non-exhaustive list of the elements which will create an ethnic atmosphere or at least which gives the feeling of travel:
– Clear walls with natural hues (beige, cream, linen …)
– Warm floor
– Dark wood furniture like ebony, wenge … for a colonial style
– Sober furniture, having already had a 1st life for a more natural style
– Touches of warm colors (chocolate, orange, red …)
– Cushions, drapes, carpets, curtains, even patterned lampshades (we forget the small flowers)
– For the statuettes, in moderation. African art can be found in many ways (like a framed painting) without overloading the room.
