The style instills a sense of simplicity but is graceful and stylish. All the above mentioned images were taken at the dazzling rental homes of Lamu Retreats. The houses were inspired by Swahili architecture and have beautiful neru walls (made of cement and Indian pigment). The Swahili style originated from Arabia and Persia with a strong African influence. The homes are comfortably and tastefully furnished with Swahili style items.

Ag...ek is so bly jy het dit geniet Amé...dit maak alles vir my die moeite werd! Ek was glad nie bewus van hierdie styl nie totdat ek dit so drie weke gelede ontdek het. Die mense aan wie die huise behoort was absoluut wonderlik goed vir my met al die informasie en fotos...ek vertrou saam met jou dat julle so huis sal kan bou! Ixx

Oh Ingrid, to live on that boat- ahhhhh bliss! Those colors are wonderful on the walls, how do they do it? Do you know? I love the architecture of these buildings, inside and out, and the mish-mash of colors/patterns on cushions that just works!
