Do you go to other people's houses and come away in awe at the way they arrange random things and it just seems to work?
I'm going to give you a little insight into arranging your prize posessions to make them pop in just a few steps.
1. Gather all your display items into the one place.
2. Start arranging them into groups, one group might have items with all the same colour, or items in the same category such as candles or art. Maybe you have a couple of things similar but add something of contrast to
make it work. For example you might have two vintage black vases that
look quite boring but when put together with that crazy green frog
ornament your uncle gave you for your birthday (the one you know you can't
get rid of)....... well, it works!
Think about adding things of the same
texture, or the same colour but in different textures, something shiny
with something matt etc etc do you get my drift?
3. Now that you have your groups, you need to think about where you will place them.
Play around with placement, you will know when you have it just right!
4. Lastly don't think you need to display all of your items at once. If you run out of spaces, you can store away the left over groups of objects (in their groups of course) and rotate them in say a months time.
Changing things up will keep your spaces exciting and means you don't have to spend money on new display items unless of course you see something you love and must have it, then you have the fun job of fitting it into another exciting display!
Check out these examples below, all images are from my own displays.
The theme below is of course the colour black, it is repeated in the art, again in the deer, the little boy and the tiny figures.
Or here the little boy is used again. The theme flows with the use of rectangles in the photoframes with the rectangular mirror turned on it's side and the rectangle marble plate.
Here we have the same entryway with the same chest of drawers . The height of the plant on the left is a contrast to the little plant on the right and the colours from the stack of books are repeated in the art.
Nature can be amazing, here autumn leaves and pods were collected and this was the result!
No need to take yourself too seriously either , this simple spot made for keys tells a bit more of a story.
Sometimes just a simple kokedama plant all by itself can make the biggest impact.
There is no right or wrong way to arange your space, just have fun, play around till it works for you, because after all, it is YOUR space.
Thanks for reading .
