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.
