The art of making your walls beautiful

Here's where to buy the best pieces, from cutting-edge new names to vintage finds

Curating art for your home is an opportunity to infuse personality into your space, whether through contemporary statement pieces or timeless vintage finds. London is a hub of galleries, studios and independent stores offering all those and more - not forgetting the wealth of online wonders. Here's where to look.

GALLERIES CHAMPIONING EMERGING ARTISTS

Soho Revue (sohorevue.com), founded by India Rose James, is a contemporary gallery on Greek Street showcasing and selling works by emerging artists. It is committed to working with those who have traditionally been denied equity in the arts. The recent roster includes shows by Johanna Bath, Layla Andrews and Emma Beatrez.

A good opportunity to see art in situ alongside furniture, ceramics, glass and lighting, Modernity London (modernity.se) on Pimlico Road specialises in rare 20th-century Nordic pieces. The nearby Edward Bulmer showroom (edwardbulmerpaint.co.uk) has a rotating display of shoppable works adorning the walls. Imogen Luczyc Wyhowska is on show until April 5. For a considered mix of antique finds and contemporary painters, make an appointment at Apperley Arts (@apperley_arts), just off Askew Road in Shepherd's Bush, or arrange a studio visit with one of the live/work artists at nearby St Paul's Studios in Barons Court. Swing by Lacy Gallery (lacygallery.co.uk) on Westbourne Grove for period frames.
