If you're a lesbian, queer, or bisexual woman, you've likely been in a situation where you're desperately looking for something you can relate to.
Something that tells your story, the experiences you've been through as a non-straight woman, and you want to do it in a stylish, aesthetic, and beautiful way that actually feels like you.
The feeling you have when you find that piece, whether it's a film, book, or a piece of art, it's so affirming. You finally feel heard, inspired, and seen.
That's what your home should feel like. A place where you truly come home to yourself every night.
Through my collection of sapphic art prints, I'm going to break down how to build the most beautiful, aesthetic lesbian home so that you feel “that feeling” every single day.
Bedroom: Create a Romantic Sanctuary
Bedrooms should inspire relaxation and deep intimacy. It's the space where vulnerability feels safe, and unwinding is encouraged, not forgotten.
The artwork here should represent your deepest dreams, manifestations, and connection with your partner or yourself.
My Mountains of Love captures this beautifully, with its soft exploration of lesbian love against an endless landscape. There's something about the way the mountains frame the couple that feels both protective and expansive – much like love itself.
For those nights when solitude feels heavy, 3AM Feelings speaks to those sleepless hours of contemplation that every queer person knows intimately. It's art that acknowledges the full spectrum of our emotional landscape.
Styling wisdom: I recommend A3 or A2 sizes above your bed, or create a gentle trio of smaller A4 prints. Let the artwork breathe. Surround it with soft textures and gentle lighting that makes everything feel like a warm embrace.
Living Room: Make a Bold Statement
This is where you entertain, where you sprawl across sofas with chosen family, where conversations flow and laughter echoes. Your living room art should be confident pieces that spark conversation and radiate the kind of energy that makes everyone feel welcome.
My Soulful Nights print brings domestic bliss into sharp, beautiful focus. There's something magical about lifes calm everyday moments – watering your plants, listening to music, sipping coffee on the balcony. It's art that celebrates the revolutionary act of simply being yourself in your own space.
For those drawn to urban energy, London Heat captures the pulse of queer city life with its vibrant palette and dynamic composition. It's the kind of piece that makes visitors pause and look closer.
Creative tip: Create a gallery wall that mixes your favourite prints with personal photographs, vintage finds, or typography that speaks to you. Let your wall tell the full story of who you are.
Bathroom: Playful and Unexpected
Bathrooms are intimate spaces often overlooked in home styling, but that's exactly what makes them perfect for art that surprises and delights. These are spaces where we're alone with our thoughts, where daily rituals happen, where we prepare to face the world.
My Shower Thoughts piece is a playful nod to those moments of clarity that come when we're completely alone with ourselves. It's art that I hope makes you smile every single day, transforming an ordinary moment into something special.
Practical note: I always recommend A4 sizes for bathroom spaces, and always opt for frames with glass or acrylic protection to withstand humidity. The intimacy of the space calls for intimate scale.
Home Office: Inspire and Empower
Your workspace needs art that fuels your ambition and reminds you of your strength. This is where you create, where you build, where you show up as your authentic self in professional spaces.
I've created pieces that speak to resilience and self-expression. My Ugh captures that feeling we all have about the state of the world – it's validation in visual form, perfect for those days when you need reminding that your feelings are valid and your voice matters.
For something that speaks to emotional depth and introspection, Boys Cry Too challenges toxic masculinity while celebrating emotional authenticity – values that I believe should inform how we show up in all areas of life.
Zoom-ready styling: Position your chosen piece behind your desk for video calls that subtly communicate your values and personality. It's professional activism at its finest.
Hallway or Entryway: First Impressions Matter
Your entryway sets the tone for everything that follows. This is where you make a statement about who you are and what you stand for.
My Kiss Series – three complementary prints that I designed to work beautifully as a set – creates immediate impact. It's unapologetic celebration of lesbian love that welcomes guests into a space where authenticity is not just accepted but celebrated.
For those who prefer singular statement pieces, Blue Kiss commands attention with its striking palette and emotional depth.
Gallery wall magic: Mix different sizes (A4 and A3) to create dynamic arrangements that draw the eye. I love seeing how people combine my work with their own treasured pieces.
Dining Room or Kitchen: Warmth and Connection
Food brings us together, and so should the art in these spaces. I've always believed that kitchens and dining rooms should celebrate joy, connection, and the beauty of shared experiences.
My Swimming Pool Daydreams brings surreal beauty to everyday spaces – it's one of those pieces that starts conversations at dinner parties. Italian Vibes captures the romance of travel and adventure, perfect for inspiring wanderlust over weekend brunches.
If you're drawn to nighttime city energy, Drink More Coffee celebrates those late-night moments on balconies, watching the world below – it's urban poetry in visual form.
Why Lesbian Art Matters in Every Room
When I create these pieces, I'm not just making decoration – I'm creating visibility. Every time a guest enters your home and sees themselves reflected in your walls, you're creating space for them to exist more fully. Every time you walk past a piece that celebrates your identity, you're reinforcing your own right to take up space in the world.
In a culture that still questions our right to exist, decorating with lesbian and sapphic art becomes a quiet form of resistance. It's saying: we are here, we are beautiful, our love is worthy of celebration.
Pieces like Soulful Nights capture the beauty we feel in our domestic spaces, while Lovesick acknowledges that our emotional journeys include heartbreak and healing too. I believe in representing the full spectrum of our experiences.
Final Thoughts
The beauty of curating art for your home lies not in following rules, but in choosing pieces that speak to your soul.
Whether you're drawn to romantic intimacy of couple portraits or urban energy of cityscapes, I want you to trust your instincts.
Your home should be a place where you never have to explain yourself, where every glance around the room affirms who you are and who you love.
I pour my heart into every piece I create because I believe our stories deserve to be seen. Thank you for letting my art be part of your story.
