ON DISPLAY

How to showcase your favourite possessions

Sculptural sentıment

Considering scale is crucial when arranging objects in a pleasing way. A mixture of shapes and heights that are grouped in a composition to emphasise their contrast will create a striking display.

Window shopping

Don’t hide glassware, dishes and plates away – show them off in a beautiful dresser. When choosing furniture for display, take into account the style of pieces it will hold and go for a colour that will really make them pop.

Layered look

A sideboard is ideal for exhibiting artworks and prints, especially if you rent and the walls are out of bounds. Frames don’t have to match, and layering adds to the visual interest.

Curated corner

Inbuilt storage is a fantastic solution for all of life’s clutter. If you’re able to get it constructed to your own design by a carpenter, go for a mix of concealed drawers and cupboards, alongside open shelving with even spacing for a streamlined look.

Sub head here

Glass-fronted cabinets are everywhere this season, and they’re not just reserved for crockery! Sculptural ceramics, books and ornamental pieces all combine to make a striking display.

Art therapy

There are so many inspiring compositions and layouts to choose from when creating a gallery wall, and Pinterest is a great place to find ideas. Hanging pictures to sit in a neat line above a console creates an eyecatching feature.

Objects of use

Storing everyday items beautifully ensures even the most mundane of daily rituals will become a little more joyful – and a one-tone approach contributes to creating a calming space.

Modern exhibit

Bespoke shelving offers a really stylish way to showcase just a few choice pieces – less is more here as the architectural element of the unit is allowed to take centre stage.
