we love it when objects are re-purposed and used in a unique way in the context of interior design. such is the case with animal masks used as wall art. these unique and one-of-a-kind cultural objects add such whimsy to a room especially when hanging on a wall. we have been particularly fascinated with the colors and textures often seen in cultural masks from africa, thailand, haiti, and mexico, just to name a few. we urge you to try mixing in a mask or two onto a drab wall in your home and see how it is instantly transformed!

below is an example of how we used ethnic animal masks to add color and excitement to a client’s outdoor patio. the result was quite striking!
