Have you considered displaying collections you love in an artful and meaningful way? Every where we turn we mostly hear about simplifying, and living a minimalistic life within our homes. I think this is a good thing, and I am all for cleaning out my house, de-cluttering and getting rid of the things that I know we don’t need anymore, but I do believe that we need to also surround ourselves with things that bring us pleasure, memories, and help to preserve the past. Whenever I start a de-cluttering process in my home, I notice that I will be drawn to certain things that I don’t want to part with, and after I have cleaned the excess, I can actually enjoy my collections and most memorable items that much more. I believe that you can have a simplified and de-cluttered looking home and still display the things you love. With some forethought, artful arranging and grouping of like-items you can make your home so unique to you, and one that reflects all that is meaningful to you. I hope this post will inspire you to start displaying collections you love.
Ways To Start Displaying Collections
Most people seem to have a penchant for collecting things whether it’s vintage linens, teacups and saucers, antique collectibles, pitchers and plates. We collect things because we love how they look, how they feel between our fingers, or because they bring back fond memories of loved ones or our own childhood. The reasons we collect are too many to name, but I do know that displaying collections is a wonderful way to decorate our homes.
Cottage and farmhouse style homes are one of the most known for displaying collections, and lend themselves to adding the vintage charm that comes with these items.
