As mentioned by @Ezer, you can add figsize(w,l) to change the plot size To change the colors, you can add this for specific colors. List of colors is available here The font size and style be changed as show in code below

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
from itertools import cycle, islice  

colors = list(islice(cycle(['b', 'r', 'g', 'y', 'k']), None, len(df)))
ax= df.plot.barh((x='name',y='sales', figsize(10,5), color=colors)

x.set_title('Graphs', fontname='Franklin Gothic Medium', fontsize=20)
ax.set_xlabel('Name', fontname='Times New Roman', fontsize=16)
ax.set_ylabel('Sales', fontname='Arial', fontsize=16)
