Baskets.

Basket are a very common find among a tribal styled interior. These homeware pieces have no limit for their usefulness in a home. Style them in your living space with the coffee or side tables and fill them with cosy blankets or additional cushions. Keep them in your kitchen to act as a fruit bowl. You can even use them as artwork pieces to fill any empty walls. The options are endless!

Indoor Plants 

Styling your interior with the tribal look means incorporating features of the outside world and bringing them in! So don’t hesitate to go crazy at your local nursery! Just make sure you get the information you need to look after them. And if you don’t have a green thumb, go down the artificial plant track (no one will know except for you)

Don’t be afraid of colour

Originally the tribal design was known for their monochrome approach to styling. Using mainly warm colours among a variety of patterns and textures. But in a more recent approach to tribal styling we are seeing injections of cooler colours. This style is all about authenticity, so don’t be afraid to add a bit of your own personal taste into the mix.

Ethnic Artwork

If you’re struggling to select pieces to fill the empty walls in your home, opt for ethnic artwork pieces. Artwork like this can be found all over the internet with a simple Google search. However if you are after more authentic and one of a kind pieces you might need to book your overseas holiday.
