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

When you step into this Nairobi apartment, you’re instantly greeted by an ethnic, tropical vibe that feels like a mini escape.

How to apply handmade wall hangings in a living room

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.

Wall hangings for patio space

2. An airbnb retreat in Naivasha

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

Accentuating the space between two seats with low furniture, the Kiondo Pouffe Ottoman

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.

Beard Bead Wall Hangings application

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.

Customised ceiling pendant lights applied on a ceiling in a tent space

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.

Frequently asked questions on Kenyan handmade decorations

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.
