Safari-style interior designs inspired by the Bushveld are becoming popular among new homeowners.
With their rich history and strong connection to Africa’s wild landscapes, these designs have long captured the imagination of both interior designers and homeowners.
The Bush-veld interior range captures the spirit of African wilderness, offering palettes that are inspired by diverse landscapes.
From the deep browns of the earth to the warm oranges of the setting sun, each choice of furniture colour tells a story.
Bush-veld style interior designs
The style transcends its African expedition origins, incorporating influences from lifestyle and the arts. It embodies a blend of adventure, sustainability, and a deep connection with nature, bringing it indoors.
It captures and inspires the designs with eco-friendly colour tones that offer immersive experiences in the heart of nature.
Embrace the bush-veld theme
From cushions with animal prints, and wall paintings with ethnic motifs, to terracotta vases and pots. Embracing the bush-veld theme is simple. Start small and build up.
Cushion and wall painting are a great way to start. They add the element you are going for, subtly.
Colour tones
When you think of a bush-veld safari, you think of an array of rich colours. Warm earth tones to colours like orange, yellow and green represent the colourful and varied art of the environment.
These colours were used for centuries and formed the basis of the bush-veld safari feel you are going for. Earthy tones like brown and beige can be found on textiles, your walls, furniture or decorative elements.
Combine shapes and patterns
Furniture and decorative pieces should have rounded shapes, be handcrafted, and provide texture to the interior. Combining the right shapes with the right patterns easily brings in the bush-veld ethnic look.
Artfully curved lamps and uniquely shaped tables can imitate the aesthetic you want. The shapes of your furniture design should not be too linear if you want it to exude the safari spirit.
Add tribal mask art
To enhance your space, consider incorporating artistic furniture shapes and patterns. Additionally, add art to your walls for a more creative touch.
Hang handmade sculptures, paintings, and masks to give your home a sense of depth and cultural diversity. You can also include prints featuring animals, such as zebra or leopard patterns, as part of your art wall.
