The big wall decor trend: juju hats
The juju hat, a Cameroonian feathered headdress, brings an ethnic and colourful touch, or a more neutral one, to white walls.
You may be wondering what a juju hat is. It is a Cameroonian headdress ornamented with natural feathers, worn at traditional ceremonies. Today the juju hat has quickly become THE decoration to hang on your walls. Whatever your decor style, it brings a gentle, or very lively, ethnic touch to your room: living room or bedroom, it fits in easily. Add a touch of colour to your white walls with a bright juju hat, or choose a more neutral tone that will dress your interior with elegance. A warm, airy atmosphere is guaranteed with these royal dancers' headdresses. Extra tip: combine several colours for an even more striking wall.
If you have also fallen for these magnificent feathered suns, we recommend the Kronbali shop, which offers handmade, artisan juju hats.
Add texture to your walls with macramé
Macramé wall hangings add texture and authenticity, in a boho chic, Scandinavian or natural style.
Set aside for a while, macramé has been back in decoration for some time now. Do you love handmade decorative objects? Macramé wall hangings will melt your heart.
The weaving and knotwork of these hangings give your decoration a truly authentic feel. Not to be missed for a 100% boho chic, sunny look. Is your style more Scandinavian? Mix textures (ropes, wool) and colours for a hanging that blends perfectly into your interior, for a cocooning mood. We are fans of the work of maison Léone, who makes beautiful rope and wool hangings by hand. For a natural look, go for macramé hangings on a wooden support, a ring or a branch, and choose the model that suits your home sweet home.
The essential gallery wall
A gallery wall mixes different formats: change the posters regularly and favour natural wood frames.
If you like to pick up ideas on Instagram or Pinterest, you have surely noticed wall arrangements made of frames of different sizes. The mix and match possibilities are endless for your living room, bedroom or office. There are plenty of trendy posters to wake up your walls. You will easily find stylish prints on Juniqe. We love ocean-themed posters for a relaxing, natural decor: a salty escape guaranteed. Afraid of getting bored? Have fun changing them regularly, for a decor that reflects you. A little extra: choose natural wood frames, which go with many interior styles: Scandinavian, boho, Art Deco, urban jungle, farmhouse...
The tide clock: an original decorative object for your wall
The tide clock is both a pared-down decorative object and a useful indicator, and its colours suit every interior.
Are you looking for a pared-down decorative object to dress your walls? Stay original with the tide clock. A fun and useful object that shows you at a glance the state of the tide for a given place. Do you live far from the coast? The tide clock will remind you of holidays with friends at the beach. With the different colours available, you will find a clock that matches your interior perfectly. For a loft or an industrial-style decor, go for the Black model; for a seaside house, choose the Marine or Storm model. Made of natural wood and assembled by hand, the tide clock gives your interior a pared-down, modern and unique tone. Extra tip: pair your tide clock with a time clock for a refined layered effect.
