How to creatively display your vintage collection at home

Your collection of treasured knick-knacks can easily slip into the realm of clutter. Here are some quick tips to help you showcase your special pieces

How to stop your collections looking like clutter

Look for iconic, locally made pieces and everyday items that can easily be upcycled to add vintage flair to your home.
Use a console table or drinks cabinet with glass doors to store and showcase a selection of your favourite ceramics.
Fill a shelf with coloured glassware.
Display small trinkets in a vintage printer’s tray or on an ornament shelf.
Group decanters and other decorative items on a bar trolley.
Hang plates, artwork, textiles, wall hangings or mirrors in clusters.
