Curated Quarters: The Showcasing of African American Homes

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!
