1. Tell One Clear Story

A great gallery wall isn’t random—it has a theme.

• Popular Kenyan themes: Afrocentric identity, wildlife, travel, abstract forms, family & heritage
• Mix art styles, not messages

2. Choose a Consistent Frame Language

Consistency is what makes a gallery wall feel intentional.

• Modern homes: all black frames or black + white
• Warm interiors: natural wood or walnut frames
• Luxe spaces: black frames with gold accents

3. Mix Sizes, Keep Balance

Think rhythm, not symmetry. The magic formula:

• 1–2 medium “anchor” pieces
• 4–6 smaller supporting pieces

4. Canvas + Frames = Designer Look

Don’t limit yourself:

• Use stretched canvas for bold African art
• Use framed prints or photos for line art and minimal pieces

5. Let Color Flow Naturally

Pull 1–2 colors from your furniture or rug. Repeat those colors subtly across different artworks

Bonus Guru Tip…

If you’re unsure, start with 5 pieces in a loose grid. You can always grow the wall over time—great gallery walls evolve.
