an artwork. Inexpensive prints are an accessible way to add a dash of colour to a room, but so too are original artworks, the kind that you won’t see all over Instagram in other people’s homes.

And they don’t have to cost a fortune: original works can start from as little as £50 or so, a similar price to a print. Today’s art collector is looking not necessarily for investment pieces, but for a special and unique artwork that is not only beautiful to look at, but comes with a story behind it that will add meaning and depth to the room in which it hangs.‘There’s something wonderful about knowing the piece you have has been created by the artist and that they worked directly on that piece of paper or canvas,’ says Georgia Spray, the founder of online gallery Partnership Editions, where original works can cost from a few hundred pounds. ‘I also love knowing that no other identical piece exists, it makes it such a special purchase and part of your home.’Spray has seen a steady increase in demand as customers seek to upgrade their homes. ‘In particular, supporting emerging artists has struck a chord with collectors,’ she says.

The same is true for Sim Takhar of east London gallery The Old Bank Vault. ‘We saw a huge uptick when we reopened after the first lockdown,’ she says. ‘There were people who had been at home for three months, looking at their walls, and needed some kind of daily inspiration through their interiors and artworks.’During the lockdowns of the past year, Takhar worked virtually with customers to find pieces to suit their space.
