Tips for Displaying Your Collectibles by Dawn Gagnon: Grouping Accessories- Consider the individual lines, shapes and colors of the accessories you are putting on display. Many groupings fail to make the right impact, and are overlooked as visual clutter due to being displayed in a way that doesn't enhance these key features. You can certainly mix and match accessories, but a well thought out grouping should share one common feature among them. Whether it is type of material, shape or color, they should have something in common amid them. Remember effective and attractive groupings generally follow an odd number. Keep groups of like items in 3's, 5's etc.. to show them off well. Grouped accessories are about a unified visual impact, rather than an individual contribution of each piece. Try to mix varying heights and degrees of shapes in a room for balance. Wall Hangings- When hanging your photographs, paintings, etc. on a wall always factor in the same principle of size, shape and color. For proper balance, grouping a set of smaller accessories like photographs calls for abandoning the odd number rule. The reason is, four small framed images grouped together in an even number form a bolder impact overall and actually work together. Framed items look best if they are of either the same material, or color. The style of the frame is actually secondary, if it matches in material or color. For instance, all matching metals will usually look great together and if the styles are varying it can add interest. The common feature shared can be in the material and perhaps overall size. To get a good idea of balance and scale for your wall hangings, simply take a photograph of the wall, and using tracing paper trace it out. Find the center point and mark it. On the tracing paper form a simple grid, a line forming from top to bottom in the middle of the wall and crosswise, then draw an "X" pattern with the two lines meet in the middle, that extends to the four outer corners. This gives you a baseline for wall hanging arrangements and where you see a line, a wall hanging can go. This will create an instant balanced arrangement. Draw the hangings and where you want them on the lined tracing paper and place over the photograph. This should help you come up with a well balanced attractive placement.

Tips for displaying your collectibles by Dawn Gagnon, home and living Examiner: The decorative accessories in this room share the common feature of being neutral. To get the maximum enjoyment and beauty from your keepsakes, treasures, paintings, etc. it is a good idea to know the best way to put them on display. Some accessories are so significant they need their own separate display, while others seem so small that they get lost in the overall design. There are tips and guidelines to follow that can help your cherished items display in the best decorative manner. Items of Great Value- Items of great monetary or sentimental value in most instances should have a separate display and place just for them. Having such decorative accessories are actually downplayed and hurt by groupings as they lose their individual significance and other items of lesser value distract from the beauty of it. If possible, display on a singular shelf, or highlight using lighting and let the piece stand alone. Make sure to factor in scale of the piece. Sculptures, vases, and paintings can still be lost in the design if placed in an area too vast for it to stand out.
