Is "timeless" a fancy word for "never goes out of style" or just a reminder that we're all aging?

My mind, as if on a road-trip, just took a random exit that totally missed the destination. But hey, that's just me. To get back on track, timeless is how I would describe African inspired modern design.  

There's something captivating and unique about this style that just never gets old. And the best part? There are endless ways to do it. Today, I'm excited to share my favorite shopping links for this style. So, let's dive in!

Before we get into the shopping links, let me tell you a little bit about African inspired modern design. This style features nature-inspired hues such as chocolate, charcoal, and sand, mingled with sleek geometric lines—a contemporary twist on earthy elements! To give your space some breath of life, always keep a touch of greenery, whether it's fake or real (fake plant lover here, don't judge). Let's bring the outdoors inside! As for décor pieces, mixing in statement wall art and earthy textured accents helps bring the entire look together.

Now, let's talk about the fun part: shopping! For my African inspired modern design, I created an inviting living room, dining room, and entry. In the living room, the channel performance fabric modern sofa, paired with a geometric tribal rug, creates such a beautiful mashup that your living room will scream, "Stay a while!" This sofa is the ultimate survivor - impervious to the destruction of mini-humans, tail-waggers and any other creatures that may cross its path!

My dining room is as chic as it is cozy. To spice things up, I added my favorite gallery feature, African Wall Baskets, for that natural texture vibe. Pairing them with a sleek metal and quartz hexagonal dining table and tough as nails leather curved chairs, this wild mix of elements and modern design is as perfect as my designing skills, if I do say so myself!

Guess what I found for the entryway? Just the right natural wood console table to display my fave décor pieces and keep my keys organized. And wait till you see it with this black and tan oversized (yep, 4ft!) African wall plate. It's stunning, and saying "gorgeous" out loud three times fast just doesn't do it justice! With this statement piece, my entryway is so chic that I can charge admission.
