African Theme Decorating - More Ideas

  • Get your hands on one of those onyx chess boards, place under a large decorative vase.  The style goes very well in your Africa theme decorating design.
  • It is guaranteed to be a conversation piece…..pretty funky too. When shopping for your next patio outfit buy one of those bar sets, preferably dark brown.  Replace the glass top - that came with the set - with a “cracked glass top” - 30″ x 40″ works great.  Now get this ….use it in your kitchen
  • Use this easy idea for the deck or patio. Instead of placing your silk tree in that decorative planter pot, why not place your propane tank in it instead for the BBQ. A size of 16″x16″ x16″ works very well. While you are at it, go to your corner plant store, pickup a set of pot wheels to put under it. Now it is functional as well as fits in with your theme decorating.
  • Add some decorative dried reeds to that large floor vase- found in places such as Michaels craft stores - artfully tuck the leather around the mouth of the vase to hold them in place.
  • Make your own water fountain stand. The shape resembles a tapered rectangle with a straight back. The dimensions at the base are 24″ wide x 16″ deep while the front tapers up to a height of 32″off the floor. The top dimensions are 16 ½” wide x 9 ½” deep. Finish in a decorative crackle to go with your theme.  The base accommodates a slate water fountain of the same dimensions - 16 ½”wide x 9 ½” deep. The front only tapers, the back is straight.
  • Making a base for that favourite lamp of yours? Consider adding a granite top and sit it all on a granite base. “Baltic Brown” works great here as do all earth tones in granite when it comes to African theme decorating.
