If you\u2019re a homeowner who\u2019s claiming that your home is the best showroom in the entire neighborhood, you have to understand that your habitat must still have a homey atmosphere. It must not be cold or unfeeling as most showrooms are perceived to be.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to come from a family of interior designers or artists to come up with your design preference. You can venture into this new project with just the thought that you want to express who you are or what you do with the things that you decorate your home with.<\/p>\n

What Is Safari? <\/strong><\/p>\n

The word safari <\/em>is derived from the Swahili word meaning journey<\/em>. In colonial times, this word is also an implication of games, hunting, shooting, and many other activities that the local tribes people participate in.<\/p>\n

It was no less than the late President Theodore Roosevelt who popularized this term when he said he ventured on a safari of enormous proportions<\/em>. His intention was to fill up the Smithsonian Institute with a lot of African specimens. Approximately 11,400 animals fell prey to this project of which 512 were huge games ranging from lions, leopards, elephants, rhinoceros, and buffalos. There were even six white rhinos.<\/p>\n

All these led to the negative connotation of the word safari<\/em>. These days, though, slowly, this term is evolving to a much more positive meaning. Many modern associations, with environmental and social projects, have slowly made safari travel an exciting expedition rather than a blood-filled sport of some kind.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, the traditional African safari centers on appreciating the African wildlife and certainly not limited to just game viewing.<\/p>\n

Modern Safari <\/strong><\/p>\n
While safari still includes wildlife appreciation, it is chiefly for adventure rather than a killing spree. Many of the safari expeditions, in fact, have benefitted the African wildlife because of their conservation efforts.<\/p>\n
Safaris are now looked up to as holiday trips and a means to take part in the protection of animal species. Going on these trips also means you immerse yourself in the beautiful African culture while you enjoy nature\u2019s wonders.<\/p>\n
When it comes to interior design, there are many new African trends. All the warm colors that the Kalahari Desert is able to offer can now be beautifully replicated in your home.<\/p>\n
All the beautiful and natural elements of angular wooden furniture, light-colored wood walls, ethnic motif, pottery, patterned textiles, and animal skins are highly appreciated in the design industry.<\/p>\n
African Safari Design Characteristics <\/strong><\/p>\n
Simply put, this style comes all the way from Africa. This is no less than the sunniest continent in the whole world so you need the typical colors there. Look for warm, sunny colors that would remind you of the deserts, the oases that are scattered there, clay, dry leaves, the sun, and the bright, blue skies.<\/p>\n
These colors, therefore, are mainly ocher, orange, shades of red, yellows, browns, burgundy, and bright blue. There are no cool colors since all things there are literally sun-drenched.<\/p>\n
The eclectic beauty of African safari design is most appropriate in cold regions where winters linger. This unique style will surely draw warmth into your home even when all hell is breaking loose outside.<\/p>\n
Light walls are reminiscent of the clay material in African homes. You can recreate this by using Venetian plaster, embossed wallpaper, or paint.<\/p>\n
As for your furnishings, be sure to add dark wood pieces. These have to be slightly artisanal with eclectic accents or ethnic prints. Use faux animal prints for your fabrics.<\/p>\n
Make use also of decorative materials that were made in African eclectic style. The African tribes are known for their unique art so go ahead and copy their different motifs of Ikat pattern, zebra design, tribal figurines, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
