There are actually countless ways to use Ankara to add some African spirit in virtually every room in your home or at your office.

Ankara fabric has always had a home in many Nigerian wardrobes, but sadly, that is the only space it occupies.

Besides, ankara is relatively inexpensive but fairly durable, making it a great décor investment.

Another great thing about decorating with ankara is that its prints are diverse, vibrant, and colourful, meaning there is something for everyone.

Here are a few simple ways you can add some Afro sass to your home with this much-loved African fabric.

Dining:

A good way to incorporate ankara print here is to use a strip as a runner on your dining table, as the chair/ table cover or cut up some of it to use as napkins.

Lamp covers:

This is a great innovative way to brighten up the interior of your home.

Chair covers and throw pillows:

Basically you can be creative when mixing and matching colours for interior decoration using Ankara.
Monochrome coverings are out of fashion. Since Ankara is easy to launder, it is suitable for making scatter cushions. To give your sofa great visual interest, choose two or three pieces of ankara with different prints but with at least one or two colours in common.

Decorative ornaments/photo frame around the house and office:
