Your home should tell your story. Whether you've just moved into your first flat in London, are building a family home in the suburbs of Toronto, or upgrading your space in Atlanta, an African-inspired interior carries soul, history and warmth that mass-produced furniture simply cannot match.
AfriMarket's home and living category brings together hand-woven mudcloth from Mali, sisal baskets from Rwanda and Ghana, contemporary art from Lagos and Cape Town, hand-carved wooden furniture from Kenya, beaded sculptures from South Africa, Adinkra-symbol prints, kente cushions, brass accents and bone-inlay décor.
Every piece is one-of-a-kind, made by an artist or artisan we've verified. Browse curated collections or read on to discover the items that have transformed thousands of diaspora homes.
Bògòlanfini — mudcloth — is one of West Africa's most iconic textile traditions. Originating in Mali, mudcloth is hand-woven cotton dyed with fermented mud and natural pigments, then stamped with symbolic patterns by master craftswomen. Use it as a sofa throw, a wall hanging, a coffee-table runner, or a statement cushion cover. Each piece is unique, ages beautifully, and instantly anchors a room with texture and meaning.
African baskets are the ultimate sustainable décor. Bolga baskets from Northern Ghana are hand-woven from elephant grass and can hold everything from market shopping to laundry to a baby. Rwandan agaseke sisal baskets are stitched in tight peace baskets and double as bowls or wall art. Senegalese seagrass baskets bring colour and pattern. Many are made by women's cooperatives whose income supports schools and healthcare in their communities.
African contemporary art is one of the most exciting investment categories in the world today. AfriMarket connects you directly with emerging painters, illustrators and photographers from Lagos, Nairobi, Cape Town and the diaspora. Browse original oil paintings, screen prints, Adinkra-symbol typography, Afro-futurist digital art and photography limited to 25-50 numbered prints each. Affordable options start under £40; investment pieces by named artists go up to £5,000+.
Kenyan Mukomba stools, Ghanaian akua'ba carvings, Senufo birds from Côte d'Ivoire, Akan thrones, modern coffee tables in mahogany and acacia, and bookends carved with Adinkra symbols — our furniture and sculpture sellers offer made-to-order and ready-to-ship pieces. Most ship flat-packed for affordable international delivery.
Soft furnishings are the easiest way to refresh a room with African energy. Kente-print cushions, Berber rugs, brass-and-rattan pendant lights, kalebash (calabash) bowls, hand-painted ceramic dinnerware, hand-blown recycled-glass goblets from Ghana and woven coasters — all available from verified sellers with secure shipping.
