frequently asked questions

Which countries are the products sourced from?

Ineza's products are primarily sourced from West African countries, including Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali, Guinea, Senegal, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Nigeria, and Cameroon. Additionally, we offer select items from East Africa, specifically Rwanda and Kenya.

How should I clean and care for vintage wooden furniture?

To maintain the beauty and longevity of vintage wooden furniture:


> Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, following the wood grain.


> For grime, use a mild solution of water and gentle dish soap. Dampen a cloth, wipe the surface, and dry immediately to prevent moisture damage.​


> Apply a high-quality beeswax polish to nourish the wood and enhance its sheen. Apply with a soft cloth along the grain, let it sit, and then buff with a clean cloth.


> Steer clear of abrasive cleaners or ammonia-based products, as they can harm the wood's finish.​


> Keep furniture away from direct sunlight and maintain stable humidity levels to prevent warping or cracking.​

How can I incorporate African decoration into a modern interior design?

To blend African decoration with modern interiors:

> Introduce bold items like traditional masks or sculptures as focal points.

> Use African fabrics for cushions, throws, or upholstery to add texture and color.

> Incorporate elements like wooden furniture or clay pottery to bring warmth and authenticity.

> Opt for earthy tones combined with vibrant accents to capture the essence of African aesthetics.

What makes Ineza’s collection unique compared to other African decor retailers?


At Ineza, we personally curate every item with a deep respect for African craftsmanship and cultural heritage. Our founder travels directly to artisan workshops and villages across Africa to handpick soulful, vintage, and one-of-a-kind pieces. Unlike mass-produced decor, each object carries a story, a patina of age, and the mark of its maker. This commitment to authenticity ensures your interior reflects true character and timeless beauty.

Are Ineza’s products ethically sourced and sustainable?


Yes, ethical sourcing and sustainability are at the heart of Ineza’s mission. We work exclusively with local artisans and small workshops, paying fair prices that support communities and preserve traditional craftsmanship. Many of our items are made from reclaimed or locally sourced materials, contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally conscious home decor approach.

Can I visit Ineza’s warehouse to see the pieces in person?


Absolutely! Our warehouse-showroom in Denderleeuw (just 15 minutes west of Brussels) is open by appointment. We believe every detail matters when selecting your favorite items, and visiting in person allows you to explore the textures, patinas, and craftsmanship of our curated collection. To schedule your visit, simply contact us at hello@ineza.be or call us at +32485879266.

How do I know if a piece will fit with my existing interior style?


Our team at Ineza loves helping clients curate spaces that feel cohesive and inspired. Whether your home is minimalist, bohemian, or classic contemporary, African decorative pieces can add warmth and character. You can send us photos of your space, and we’ll recommend items that complement your existing palette and furniture. Plus, our blog offers styling tips for integrating African design into European interiors.

Does Ineza ship internationally, and how are fragile items packaged?


Yes, Ineza ships worldwide. We take great care in packaging, using double boxing, eco-friendly padding, and professional logistics partners to ensure your items arrive safely. For fragile or oversized pieces like vintage stools or large masks, we arrange custom crating and white-glove delivery where available. Tracking information is provided with every order for peace of mind. The website only allows for online orders within EU-8 countries.
