6 clever ideas for displaying your Disney collectibles
Ever wonder how to display your assemblage of Vinylmations or do justice to your Romero Britto collection? We went to Houzz.com for inspiration and found some clever ideas. Some of them you might need professional help to pull off, but others — including our favorite way to display those Vinylmations — are completely DIY.
Here are some general tips we gleaned from these collections:
- Be proud of your collection! Don’t hide it away, make it the centerpiece of a room.
- Group your collectibles together for more impact, especially the small ones.
- Put them on the wall — even if that doesn’t seem intuitive.
- Use lighting.
- Get help if you want to get fancy.
Take a look at some of our favorite displays:
These tiny shelves are actually small jewelry boxes purchased at the Container Store and secured to the wall using pushpins. This would be a great — and inexpensive, completely DIY — way to display a Vinylmation collection. And because the boxes are easy to pin to the wall, it’s great for a collection that’s constantly expanding. (One thing: Hope you don’t mind dusting!)
Evenly spaced shelves against a contrasting background offer a flexible way to display your collectibles, whether they are tall or small. The red chairs picking up the color in the trains is a nice touch as well. These shelves were custom built, but you can find similar floating shelves at many home retailers, such as Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel. They aren’t terrible hard to install, but this kind of symmetry might be a bit tricky.
This “man cave” takes a similar approach, but with larger figures. In this case, the designer also has grouped the collectibles together by attaching frames to the walls. You could do this with a different primary color — say, red, yellow and blue — behind each frame.
