Forget the days when art was confined to museums and galleries. Today, it spills into our living spaces, quietly revolutionising how we experience our home. Art elevates the mundane into the meaningful—turning a room into a canvas and the objects within it into curated expressions of culture, thought, and purpose. In this piece, AD List explores six brands that are pushing the boundaries of art and design.
When it comes to transforming walls into narratives, Espravo leads the way. This design studio specialises in mixed-media art, textile art and handcrafted decor objects that infuse spaces with individuality. Their collection of art prints, gallery walls, and picture frames offers a bespoke charm, ensuring each piece harmonises with your aesthetic. Espravo’s designs open up possibilities for turning blank walls into subtle reflections of your personality.
What if art could bridge the gap between industrial waste and architectural beauty? Enter Nimrat Narang, a New-Delhi based artist repurposing surplus materials into textured masterpieces. Her pieces, created using structural materials like cement, wood, and textiles, stand at the intersection of sustainability and architectural storytelling. Through layered textures and unexpected materials, Nimrat’s work adds a raw edge to interiors, encouraging viewers to engage with the concepts of reuse and transformation. Her art challenges norms and adds a thought-provoking depth to contemporary spaces.
Magicsimsim’s creations feel like stepping into a richly adorned past. Blending ancient Indian embroidery techniques with modern spirituality, their bejewelled art pieces are crafted on pure silk with precious metals and gemstones.

Embellished with precious metals and silk, their pieces move beyond ornamentation to explore the narrative potential of fabric and texture. Magicsimsim’s creations hold a dual appeal—preserving heritage while adapting it for contemporary interiors that value both culture and design.
Mumbai-based brand, Blanc White introduces a tactile dimension to minimalist art with its wall sculptures crafted from upcycled materials. Principal artist Megha Shah’s works are meditative and grounded, inviting an experience of stillness amidst the chaos of modern life. By reusing materials like sand and discarded textiles, she bridges sustainability and artistry, proving that minimalism doesn’t have to compromise on texture or presence. Blanc White’s pieces offer a quiet sophistication that fits seamlessly into contemporary interiors while standing out as conversation starters.
