Plates, rare books, antiques are just some of the items one can\ncollect and display. These pieces readily get conversations started and offer\nthe opportunity to showcase them in stylish ways. Read on to discover how\nunexpected spaces in the home can be the perfect gallery for personal\ntreasures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cweetest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/shutterstock_1244488546-welsh-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94571\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Welsh sideboard<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Practical and stylish, a sideboard offers discreet storage\noptions on an uninterrupted surface. These timeless pieces were once relegated\nto the dining room, but now can be placed anywhere. Beyond serving food, they\nalso offer a convenient area to display your treasures, particularly plates and\nvintage silverware. The trick is to select one focal point and keep backgrounds\nneutral. Collections will shine without overwhelming. If your display is\nparticularly colorful, consider placing against a white or beige wall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cweetest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/desk-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94591\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pigeonholes of a desk<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A desk can be the perfect place to display a collection.\nPigeonholes were once used to store office supplies and papers. They now can\nprovide space for a mini gallery. Start by clearing off stationary and\npolishing for the cleanest surface. Arrange your collection in a way that\npleases you the most and get ready for the compliments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:152px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cweetest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/shutterstock_94320664-shelves-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94561\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bookshelves<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From masks to statues of all sizes, sculpture is one medium\nthat thrives on proximity. These multi-dimensional works should be viewed from\nas many angles as possible. Bookshelves provide the perfect space for display,\nas most are elevated or at eye level. This placement also prevents accidents by\nkeeping too many hands away from creating a hazard. To enhance these bold\nobjects, consider adding the right lighting. A spotlight or single light may\nwash out intricate details. Diffused light, such as sunshine, works best. If\nthat is not possible, try recessed lighting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cweetest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/builtins-300x184.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94551\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Built-ins<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Versatile built-ins are meant to be filled with personal\ntreasure. Books, Depression-era glass or action figures can all find a home on\nthem. These small landscapes offer the right amount of space and light to bring\ndimension and character to a flat wall. For the more creative types, deepen the\nimpact of your display by playing with layers.&nbsp;\nArrange books as a foundation and move smaller d\u00e9cor items to the\nforefront for a multi-dimensional look that will start many conversations. \n\n\n\nLove displaying your personal treasures as much\nas you love collecting them. This article was inspired by the April 1958 issue\nof <em>Better Homes &amp; Gardens<\/em>\nmagazine, proving beloved collections are timeless and always in style. &nbsp;\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A home should be a unique expression of the interests of its inhabitants.
