African home decor, made by hand

38 pieces of handmade African home decor — elephant-grass baskets woven in Bolgatanga, indigo tie-dye and batik cushions dyed in Nigeria, wax print bought at Woodin and the Adjamé market in Abidjan, and red-clay lighting thrown in Marrakech. Each object is made by a named craft tradition, bought directly from the artisans, and varies slightly because it was shaped by hand.

How to decorate with African craft

01

Choose one lead material

Let straw, ceramic or dyed cotton lead the room. One dominant texture keeps a mix of crafts from reading as clutter.

02

Group in odd numbers

Three baskets in different diameters on a wall, or two cushions plus one throw, hold together better than matched pairs.

03

Contrast the surfaces

Put a rough woven texture next to a smooth glaze — a Bolga basket beside a cobalt ceramic burner — so each material reads clearly.

African home decor questions

What counts as African home decor?
At Etni'KS it means functional objects made by hand using a named regional technique: elephant-grass basketry from Bolgatanga in Ghana, indigo tie-dye and batik cotton from Nigeria, wax print bought in Abidjan, and red-clay pottery thrown in Marrakech. Every piece is a craft object, not a mass-produced print of one.
How do I decorate with African baskets and textiles?
Work with one dominant material and let the rest stay quiet. A group of three Bolga baskets in different sizes on a plain wall reads as a composition; a single batik cushion on a neutral sofa reads as an accent. Mix a woven texture with a smooth one — straw against glazed ceramic — so each material has something to contrast with.
Is the decor handmade and ethically sourced?
Yes. We buy directly from the weavers, dyers and potters we work with in Ghana, Nigeria, Morocco and Ivory Coast rather than through resellers, so the price pays for skilled handwork. Because each piece is shaped by hand, colours and dimensions vary slightly between items.
Do you ship African home decor across Europe?
Yes — we ship from Spain across Europe and worldwide, with free shipping on orders over €50. Baskets travel lightly compressed and can be reshaped on arrival by misting them with water and pressing them back into form.
Can I order a custom or made-to-order piece?
Several pieces, including the Amira modular table and the Sahra lamp, are made to order. For a bespoke size, colourway or larger interior project, use the bespoke enquiry form and we'll quote it with the workshop.
