The mastermind behind the home goods line Bespoke Binny, Manima embraces the notion that “home is where the heart is”, stressing that a home is a reflection of you is essential to your wellbeing. “I’ve always been into home stuff,” she admitted in an interview with the Etsy blog. “I love watching renovation shows on TV. So I started making things for my own home”.
After getting positive feedback from her friends, she decided to start selling her creations, launching her Etsy shop in 2013, and going to craft markets and trade shows. According to Manima, she decided on a home decor line after seeing African prints used in clothing, but not in home goods.
Her intuition proved right. These days her brand is thriving and includes a variety of home goods, such as lampshades, pillows, throws, aprons, and oven mitts—all made to add a splash of color to your home. Being of Ghanaian descent, Manima’s products are inspired by Africa, using African prints.
“I think that not enough people know about the beauty of African prints,” says Manima. “I’m going to get on my soapbox now—I think they get seen as something seasonal, for summer, or something tribal, in terms of fashion. They’re not seen as something to wear for everyday. But these prints are for everyday!”
In addition to African prints, she also uses wax prints – fabrics that have patterns that are printed on over the wax. “They are like batik, and they have errors on the fabric that are considered beautiful—the imperfections are part of their beauty,” she notes.

The pandemic made us cancel pretty much all the plans we had and we even started working from home, which is why it became more important than ever to make it cozy and comfortable. If you’re still looking for ways to make your home nicer, here are our three unusual and trendy home design ideas.
Paint Something On a Wall
You don’t need to be an artist to paint an accent wall at your own home! There are many beautiful ideas online that you can use. The simple designs can look surprisingly effective, so get your supplies together and start painting!
kidding! But it’s a bedroom special anyway 
I’ve teamed up with some fabulous ladies to bring you some tropical, eclectic and colourful bedroom vibes today 
If you only been around here for a short while you might not know why our bedroom looks the way it does. Long story short, we loooove the Southern California backcountry (think San Jacinto/ Anza-Borrego), it’s mountain lines against beautiful sunrises and sunsets 
Anyway, head to my stories for some more details and then make sure to check out my fabulous friends below

You already have curtains on the windows, but have you thought about putting them somewhere else? Curtains can change any room and can be used to divide the space or as wall decor. Be creative and play with the possibilities.
Go Maximalist
Minimalism was very popular in recent years, so if you want a change, start adding things to your home! Carefully chosen decor pieces will bring you joy every time you look at them and they don’t have to clutter your space—you can go with wall hangings, art, and similar things.
As I said before the layout stays the same and all but most pieces get a face lift! Did you catch my stories earlier, where I show you one of the updates? I’ll probably post it here this week too, Incase you miss it 
Until then, have a wooonderful day my friends
