By nature, we are hunters and gatherers, stalking our prey at the local flea market, garage sale or antique store. We bring home that perfect treasure to remind us of sunny beaches and travels abroad. But effectively displaying the stuff we collect is more difficult than acquiring the individual items. Collections are a great way to express your personal style, and when purposefully displayed, they look like art. When displaying your collections, consider the following tips for an eye-pleasing collection. § Collections often look best if they have a unifying theme – such as material, form or subject. credit: Tim Cuppett Architects via Houzz § Treasures displayed en masse catch the eye. credit: Miles Redd via House Beautiful § Keep collections contained within small areas and grouped together, helping to avoid a cluttered, rather than a collected look. credit: John Rosselli via Elle Decor § Sort and display by color. credit: Belle Maison |
