Styling: Eclectic Wall Displays to Capture Your Imagination
Don’t hide your treasures behind closed doors, display them on the wall for all to see and admire
Whatever your collection, be it a box of vintage plates or a houseful of classic guitars, it can easily be turned into a work of art all of its own. By mounting items on the wall, you can quickly and easily update and personalise a room, while also being able to enjoy your collection every day. Here are some wonderfully diverse suggestions to get you daydreaming.
Style your accessories

Hang up your wheels
Bicycles look great hung on a wall – and it keeps them from getting under your feet, too. This white model adds interest to a modern home office, but if you intend to ride your bike most days, opt for a wall near the front door for minimum hassle.

Mount a montage of mirrors
A collection of mirrors can look so effective when hung together. Go for ornate designs, such as Venetian glass, rococo twirls or decorative circles like these, and set against a bold backdrop for a striking display.

Climb the walls
This is admittedly not a wall display as such, but if you have a house full of climbing fans, then it’s a fun and eye-catching idea, the dots of colour livening up a plain wall. Just make sure you lie a mat down underneath to soften any tumbles.

Encourage sweet dreams
This wall display is beautiful, romantic and oh-so simple to recreate. Pick a natural stick, such as a bamboo cane, hang from a hook, then simply attach cute, whimsical objects. The best thing is that favourite items can be changed as often as you like.

Design a mosaic
This entirely neutral scheme is brought to life by the beautiful colourful display, set in a perfect circle. Achieve a similar look with (very carefully fixed) paperweights, or simply pieces of coloured glass.

Set off a beautifully styled sideboard with a modern piece of art. By sticking to a single colour, in this case white, the look is minimal, cool and oh-so chic.
