Large African Wall Fan (Bolga)

Large African Wall Fan: Bold Wall Decor

These African wall fans are selected for their strong visual impact and sculptural presence. With their generous XL format (h32/35 x 24 inches – h80/90 x 60cm), they work as statement wall pieces, bringing texture and character to any space.

Handwoven from natural straw, these Bolga decorative fans come from traditional basket weaving techniques commonly found in Ghana. The tight, graphic weave creates striking patterns that read beautifully on the wall, whether displayed alone or as part of a curated wall arrangement.

Available in a multicolor version or in natural black and beige tones, these African wall fans fit seamlessly into bohemian interiors, earthy minimal spaces, Mediterranean homes or modern settings looking for organic contrast.

How to style your large African fan in your space?

A fan this size doesn’t hide in the background—and that’s exactly the point. Hung on the wall, it becomes a genuine statement piece in your decor. Alone or styled with other natural fiber wall decor — baskets, mirrors or woven art — it helps create a layered, relaxed and timeless interior with a strong artisanal identity.

As wall art: Solo above a sofa, bed, or console, it anchors the space and draws the eye immediately. You can also incorporate it into a gallery wall with mirrors, baskets, or frames to create a layered, textured composition. The two colorways pair nicely together if you want to create a curated cluster.

For photo shoots and events: Its oversized format makes it perfect for lifestyle photography, boho weddings, bridal showers, or styled shoots. It adds texture, color, and an artisan vibe to any image. It’s become a go-to prop for creative professionals and event stylists.

As a functional fan: While its size makes it ideal for decor, this fan is still totally functional. It moves a lot of air and works great on a patio, at an outdoor event, or simply during hot summer days. It’s the ultimate bohemian accessory for weddings, garden parties, or beach gatherings.

Each African woven wall fan is handmade, which means slight variations in weave, color or proportions may occur. These subtle differences are part of the charm and reflect the authenticity of handcrafted decor made from natural materials.
