Arrows– not just for the directionally challenged! Tribal insignias and textiles have long been featured as points of interest in our homes. The arrow predates recorded history and, though thought to have originated in South Africa, has played a significant role in most cultures. Whether symbolizing peace, war, protection, or otherwise, the arrow, for it’s clean lines and symmetry, is just so universally appealing.
The use of arrows in home decor has been covered by some of our favorite outlets including StyleCarrot and Apartment Therapy. You know you love them! Have you found yourself wondering how to use arrows in your home decor?
