Whenn you walk into a room, the walls speak before anyone does. A well-chosen tableau can make your living room feel warm, your office feel focused, and your hotel lobby feel unforgettable. At Artina Gallery in A&F Plaza, Kigali, we help you turn empty walls into moments of emotion, culture, and personality.

But how do you know which tableau is “right” for your space? It’s not only about beauty—it’s about size, colors, mood, and where it sits in relation to your furniture and light. This guide shares simple, practical steps our team uses when helping clients choose art at Artina Gallery.

Start with the feeling, not the wall.

Before you think about measurements, ask yourself: how do I want this room to feel—calm, bold, luxurious, playful, or inspiring? In bedrooms and private spaces, many of our clients in Kigali choose soft, calming palettes and minimal compositions. In offices and reception areas, they often go for bolder colors, abstract pieces, or tableaux that reflect their brand and culture.

Respect proportion: the right size changes everything

Don’t forget height & hanging

Even the perfect tableau can look “off” if it’s hung too high or too low. As a general rule, the center of the artwork should be close to eye level—especially in living rooms, corridors, and reception areas. The good news? When you buy from Artina Gallery, we don’t just hand you the piece and say goodbye—our team can also assist with professional hanging and positioning so everything feels intentional and safe.


Whether you’re decorating your first apartment, refreshing your office, or styling a hotel or Airbnb in Kigali, we believe art should feel approachable, not intimidating. You don’t need to “know everything” about art—you just need guidance, good options, and a team that listens.
