Looking for design inspiration with African American culture in mind? We have the perfect resource for you. Interior Design maven Celeste Alexander will launch Curated Quarters, a resource for the interior design professionals in January 2019. The mission of the magazine is to celebrate the heritage and history of the often-underrepresented African American design community and their unique contributions to style and home décor.
Alexander believes the contributions of African American designers has been overlooked for years in a niche industry that often celebrates the influences from everywhere but Africa and or continents with people of color.
Take a sneak peek of some of the design and inspiration for the new magazine below and be sure to subscribe and support!
Curated Quarters: The Showcasing of African American Homes
Curated Quarters: The Showcasing of African American Homes
Residential design has historically relied heavily on colonial and provincial influences associated with France, Italy and England. Alexander would like to see influences from Africa and other continents with people of color used throughout design theory. “Due to the cultural differences of the African American experience many of our contributions have been overlooked by the mainstream interior design community,” Alexander says. “Curated quarters will provide an educational and historic look at the journey of African Americans and other people of color in the space called home.”
Curated Quarters will premiere in January 2019. For more information on the debut and launch of Curated Quarters visit http://www.curatedquartersmag.com.
