The chic ethnic furniture makes the journey into the house: exotic wood, woven fibres and inspired patterns of the world crafts make up warm interiors, which give character to the most sober rooms. This style is in addition very well combined with an existing decoration. Meuble House offers here its selection of ethnic furniture for the living room, dining room, bedroom and office.

The chic ethnic, a style between craftsmanship and sobriety

Ethnic style draws on the decorative traditions of Africa, Asia and Latin America: carved wooden furniture, hand-woven textiles, geometric motifs transmitted from generation to generation. Contrary to a widespread idea, it does not rhyme with accumulation of bright colors and travel objects. This is precisely what the chic word says: the current version of this style is based on natural hues, beige, terracotta, brown, and unbleached, and on a limited number of carefully chosen pieces. It is sometimes confused with the bohemian style, which is close to it. The difference lies in the furniture: the bohemian multiplies textiles, fringes and superpositions, when the chic ethnic first relies on furniture in solid wood and natural fibres, in a clean decor. Result: a warm and inhabited interior, which remains easy to live in daily life and never falls into total look.

Recycled wood, rattan and natural fibres: materials that have a history

In this selection, the material makes the difference. Teak, mango or acacia furniture are made in India and Indonesia, where these dense woods have been working for generations; their marked veining is patinated over the years. If you are looking for a truly unique piece, turn to recycled wood: from old frames, doors or boats, it keeps traces of paint and original assemblies, so that two sideboards of the same model are never the same. To lighten the whole, the seats and facades made of rattan or canning are easily combined with these dark woods, and a jute carpet or braided rope ottoman complete the decoration without charging it. A useful landmark when choosing: sculpted trays, nailed facades and hand-made braided braid are the signs that distinguish an ethnic artisanal furniture from a standard furniture.

From living room to bedroom, ethnic furniture for each room

The Meuble House selection allows you to install this style in each room, starting with the living room: you will find coffee tables made of recycled wood or solid teak that are often enough to set the tone, to complete with a rattan armchair if you want to go further. However, keep a sober sofa to balance the whole. For the dining room, the sculpted or nailed sideboards in the collection are thought of as the central room; the wooden chairs and canning that accompany them remain visually lighter than full seats. In the bedroom, an engraved mangoe headboard or a dresser of the apothecary type gives character, without requiring other decorative elements. Also discover solid wooden consoles and braided baskets that warm up a desk, as well as benches and carved wooden mirrors perfect to mark an entrance.

How to dose chic ethnic style without overloading?

No need to rethink your whole decoration to adopt this style. Ethnic furniture fits very well into a contemporary interior: their dark wood and braiding come out all the better on white walls and next to clean lines. The safest method is to start from the existing one. First add a strong room, like a coffee table or a sideboard, then some matching accessories, a jute carpet, two or three cushions with woven patterns. If the set seems balanced, complete; otherwise, remove it rather than add. This step-by-step progression avoids the most common pitfall of the ethnic style, overloading it, and allows you to adjust your decoration as you want.

Hand-worked wood, woven fibres, pieces that look like no other: the chic ethnic furniture brings this extra authenticity that sometimes lacks the too uniform interiors. Browse the Meuble House selection to find yours, and in case of hesitation on a essence or a dimension, the team remains available to advise you before your order.
