Home Décor

I still don’t quite understand people’s sense of style here and what’s considered nice, acceptable, etc. And my lack of understanding style here also applies to not just what people wear but how they decorate their homes. There seems to be a few basic essentials that most Cameroonians include in decorating their room or house. Here are some of the basics:

fabric draped over the walls (in lieu of paint)

fabric in every doorway even if there is a door

placemate-like pieces of fabric for the sofa

giant posters with either Arabic writing or half-naked couples hugging with the writing ‘Romance’

fake flowers

other various random decorations such stuffed animals, glamour-shot like photos, Christmas lights year round

Notice the fabric on the couch, the hanging various trinkets along the wall including an old balloon


Fabric everywhere, fake flowers on either side of TV, heart shaped pillows oh this is a male's room
