Crazy About Collection Displays

It is easy to become overwhelmed with vintage & antique collections (believe us, we know), so it is  important to figure out the best way to organize and display those collections in a way that is easy and decor-friendly.
Here are some of our favorite ideas:


Vintage purses are always fabulous. Plus it doesn't cost too much to quickly acquire a collection of them. Hanging purses on a wall instead of artwork creates a nice break up of the wall space.

Teapots come in all shapes, sizes and colors. Having a beautiful piece of furniture to store them in is an easy way to protect and show off fragile items. We love how this olive green background makes the teapots pop.

It seems so simple, but with a collection of old trunks and suitcases, the most eye-catching display is when they are stacked on top of each other. This works particularly well if you have high ceilings. The room will look instantly bigger.

Depression glass is a wonderful collection due to its beautiful pastel hue. If you have a lot of pieces, design a room around them. Pull those same colors into other items in the space and you will achieve a cohesive look.

Old birdcages are so intricate. They work well massed together on top of large pieces of furniture, plus they add texture to a room. Don't forget, if you like the shape of a bird cage, but not the color, it can easily be painted to match any color scheme.
