When I first started illustrating, I never imagined that my work would even sell, never mind sit on the walls of so many lovely, diverse people’s homes.
Over the years I've sold prints to everyone from straight couples, to plenty of sapphic couples and lesbians, and even gay and queer male couples, as well as trans folk.
I didn't realise at the time, though, that what I was essentially giving people wasn’t just art it was a way for them to represent themselves in their own home.
To represent the love that they feel with a partner, or to visualise a life that they'd like to live.
I just thought I was also adding some beauty and something inspirational to their space.
I realise now that art is more than just decoration. It's something that speaks to who you are.
It's incredibly powerful to come home and see yourself reflected in your space. For queer women, it’s a way to create a place that honours how we've chosen to live our lives. In a world that often dismisses it
If you want to fill your sapphic home with art that's meant for you, then a gallery wall is one of the best ways to do it. Here's how to curate a perfect gallery wall, and a few ideas to help you build one that feels deeply personal and unapologetically LESBIAN.
Start with a Theme
The most beautiful gallery walls feel cohesive. That doesn’t mean every print has to match, it means they should speak to one another.
- Romantic & Intimate: Choose pieces like the Blue Kiss, Mountains of Love, or the Kiss Set of 3 for a soft, tender theme.
- Dreamy & Reflective: For a wall that feels atmospheric, I love pairing Soulful Nights with Lovesick and Drink More Coffee.
- Playful & Everyday: Add character with Morning Baby or Shower Thoughts for those intimate-but-relatable daily moments.
Think of your theme as the mood board for your wall. Is it romantic, moody, playful, or eclectic?
Play with Scale
The trick to making a gallery wall visually interesting is variety.
- Anchor your wall with one large A2 print — something bold, like Swimming Pool Daydreams.
- Surround it with smaller A4 or A3 prints to create rhythm and flow.
- Don’t be afraid of asymmetry. Sometimes the most charming walls are the ones that feel collected rather than planned.
If you’re nervous about arranging, try placing your frames on the floor first to test layouts. I often shuffle pieces around until they “click” into harmony.
Mix Frames & Materials
Frames can completely change the way a print feels.
- Black frames add drama and focus.
- Light wood frames keep things soft and natural.
- White frames let the artwork breathe and feel airy.
A mix of styles can work beautifully, especially if you’re building a wall over time. Personally, I love when gallery walls evolve organically. Each new print added like a diary entry of where you were and what resonated with you.
Tell a Story
The best gallery walls don’t just look nice, they tell a truly immersive story about who lives there.
For sapphic homes, that might mean mixing:
- Showcasing unapologetic lesbian love with Mountains of Love Print
- Adding travel series like London Heat or Italian Vibes
- And bolder, feminist statement pieces like UGH
Together, they weave a narrative of softness, resilience, and pride.
Create Room-Specific Walls
Gallery walls aren’t just for living rooms.
- Bedroom: Keep it intimate with the Kiss Set, Mountains of Love, and Blue Kiss.
- Bathroom: Go playful with Shower Thoughts — small, cheeky prints work beautifully here.
- Kitchen or Dining Room: Everyday warmth with Morning Baby and Blue Kiss.
- Hallway: This is your stage for bold statements — Soulful Nights or Swimming Pool Daydreams will make guests stop in their tracks.
By tailoring your wall to each room, you create little pockets of identity throughout your home.
Keep It Evolving
A gallery wall doesn’t have to be finished. In fact, I’d argue it never is.
As you discover new art and queer stories that resonate with you, keep adding to your wall. Swap prints around. Let your space grow with you. Think of it like your creative garden.
That’s the joy of living with art, it evolves as you do.
Why Queer Gallery Walls Matter
When I see my art hanging on walls, it always feels bigger than me. It’s not just a print it’s representation. It’s queer intimacy and joy made visible.
A gallery wall full of lesbian art is a quiet act of pride. It’s saying:
This is who I am, and I want my home to reflect it.
For many of us, that visibility wasn’t always possible. Now, it’s something we can claim, room by room, wall by wall.
Final Thoughts
Your gallery wall doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to be yours.
Maybe it’s a collection of kisses and soft touches. Maybe it’s a moody wall of midnight feelings and surreal sapphic dreamscapes. Or maybe it’s a mix of books, zines, and prints that tell your story in fragments.
Whatever you choose, I hope your walls feel like home queer, tender, bold, and full of love.
