Dreaming of adding authentic Kenyan handmade decorations to your living or working space but not sure where to begin?

Relax — you’re not alone! Many of our clients felt exactly the same way at first.

At Lucidity Artisanals Shop, we believe your home should tell your story — a story woven from beautiful Kenyan handmade decorations. From rustic wall baskets to custom pendant lights and carved log stools, we create statement pieces that turn everyday spaces into warm, inviting havens.

Today, let’s peek into how three of our amazing clients used our made in Kenya decor to transform their homes, Airbnbs, and safari camps — plus tips you can steal for your own space.

How to decorate your space with Kenyan handmade decorations

1. Residential apartment in Nairobi

How to use handmade wall hangings in a living room
When you step into this Nairobi apartment, you’re instantly greeted by an ethnic, tropical vibe that feels like a mini escape.

Our client mapped out her entire living room and applied wall hangings strategically — letting some shine alone while pairing others for layered texture. The result? A warm, lived-in space with plenty of character.

Decorating a patio or balcony
Outside, she added our handmade wall hangings to her patio, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The mix of textures, colours, and natural materials tied everything together beautifully.

2. An airbnb retreat in Naivasha

Ever wondered how to make your holiday rental stand out? This Naivasha host nailed it.

She took our signature Multicolored Sisal Woven Pouffe Ottomans and placed them between her lounge seats — adding low, functional furniture that doubles up as extra seating or side tables.

She didn’t stop there: she layered the space with Beard Bead Wall Hangings, giving guests an authentic Kenyan feel the moment they walk in.

Pro Tip: The best part about Kenyan handmade decorations? They always reflects your unique taste — no two spaces ever look the same!

3. Tented safari camp in Maasai Mara

Next stop? The Maasai Mara — where one client dreamt up custom designs that pushed our creativity to new heights.

She asked for square carved log stools (challenging dimensions!) plus 33 identical wooden pendant lights for her luxury tented camp. We weren’t sure our artisans could replicate them perfectly, but guess what? They did — and the final look was magical.

Inside the tent, the custom pendant lights create a warm, earthy glow, transforming the tents into cozy spaces for guests to relax after a day on safari.

More easy ways to use Kenyan handmade decorations

Add character to your ceilings with our Ebony Beaded Ceiling Lampshades — available in assorted sizes, shapes, and natural finishes to suit any vibe.

• Rustic mirrors for extra depth

• Wood Masks (like our Mwendwa Duo Wood Masks)

• Woven wall baskets and trays

• Tapestries and framed art

3. Floors 

Style your floors with our Decorative Sisal Rope Rugs, handwoven pouffes, bean bags, large vases, or woven baskets for easy storage that doubles as decor.

4. Tables

• Decorative bowls or bead garlands

Frequently asked questions on Kenyan handmade decorations

1. How can I decorate my room with handmade items?

Start by defining your style. Identify the focal points — ceilings, walls, floors, or tables — then choose handmade Kenyan decor that reflects your taste.

2. How do I add decorations to my house?

Have a plan. Decide why you’re decorating and what mood you want. Pick pieces that highlight your personality and complement your colours and furniture.

3. How do I decorate on a small budget?

Declutter and repurpose first. Rearrange furniture and reuse what you already have. Then add small affordable accents — like wall baskets, mini vases, or local finds from the Maasai Market.
