Displaying and Organizing Your Collectibles In Your Home


Here are some tips for displaying and organizing collectibles in your house:


1. Sort through your collectibles and decide which ones you want to display. Set aside any items that are not in good condition or that you no longer want to keep.

2. Decide on a theme or color scheme for each room or area where you want to display your collectibles.

3. Consider the size and shape of your collectibles when deciding on how to display them. For example, small items such as figurines or coins can be displayed in a shadow box or on a shelf, while larger items such as vases or statues can be displayed on a mantel or in a curio cabinet.

4. Use risers or stands to raise items off the surface, this allows them to be seen from all angles.

5. Use lights or backlighting to highlight your collectibles and make them more visible.

6. Consider grouping similar items together, such as all your books, toys, or stamps.

7. Create vignettes, group of items that tell a story or create a scene, help create more interesting displays.

8. Use clear, acid-free boxes or containers to store and protect your collectibles that are not on display.

9. Label items to know what they are, their age and origin and when they were acquired.

10. Be mindful of the placement, try to avoid high traffic areas, dampness, direct sunlight and keep your collectible safe from children and pets.


Remember that your collection and the way you display it is a personal choice and you should enjoy it in a way that pleases you.
