1. Thandiwe - Throw pillows & floor pillows
Throw pillows are one of my favourites and one of the easiest ways to refresh a space without breaking the bank. Pillow covers are especially useful because you can simply cover your existing cushions giving them a fresh new look. Ankara fabric floor pillows are really popular right now and very versatile: think extra seating for game night, meditation pillow, playroom cushions for your kids and more.

2. Thandiwe - Kente Lamp shade
Light up the room with African print fabric lamp shades. Most of us have had the same boring lampshades for years this is the perfect way to add some pizzaz to your home. Lamp shades can fit your typical table style lamp, floor lamp or certain ceiling lights. Lamp shades also add a modern pop and are a nice way to ease into colour if you’re hesitant.

3. Thandiwe - Tableware
You make the food with lots of love why not set the table with love as well. Setting a statement table with African print fabric napkins, placemats and table runners will make your family dinner, holiday meal or pot luck with the girls so much more meaningful and classy. And let’s not forget Ankara fabric napkins are eco friendly which means they are good for you and the planet.

4. Bahati Artisan Decor - Kitchenware
Throw those plain white or beige kitchen towels away it’s time to jazz things up. Kitchenware just got more interesting with these African print fabric kitchen towels and pot holders. What I love about these is they make a great birthday, wedding, housewarming or hostess gifts. They might encourage those of us who don’t like to cook to step into the kitchen.

5. Thandiwe - Furniture
One of the biggest ways to show your home some love is with furniture. The right piece of furniture can ground a space or add just the right about of personality to an otherwise uninspired space. This Chesterfield Wingback armchair by Thandiwe does both beautifully. Upholstered with classic African print fabric this chair is fit for a king or queen, doesn’t overwhelm and would bring life to your living room, den or office.

6. Thandiwe - Handmade Art
You know your home needs a decor remix but are not sure where to start? Handmade art is a great place to start. African art made with natural materials like wood, raffia and elephant grass will liven up those boring white walls, nightstands or desks. Many African artists make in small batches so your artwork will be special as is in everybody and their mother won’t have it. They also look great grouped with other art creating an Afro modern gallery wall.
