These timeless pieces were once relegated\nto the dining room, but now can be placed anywhere. Beyond serving food, they\nalso offer a convenient area to display your treasures, particularly plates and\nvintage silverware. The trick is to select one focal point and keep backgrounds\nneutral. Collections will shine without overwhelming. If your display is\nparticularly colorful, consider placing against a white or beige wall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bhgre.com\/bhgrelife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/desk-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bhgre.com\/bhgrelife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/desk-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.bhgre.com\/bhgrelife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/desk.jpg 667w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pigeonholes of a desk<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A desk can be the perfect place to display a collection.\nPigeonholes were once used to store office supplies and papers.

This placement also prevents accidents by\nkeeping too many hands away from creating a hazard. To enhance these bold\nobjects, consider adding the right lighting. A spotlight or single light may\nwash out intricate details. Diffused light, such as sunshine, works best.

For the more creative types, deepen the\nimpact of your display by playing with layers.&nbsp;\nArrange books as a foundation and move smaller d\u00e9cor items to the\nforefront for a multi-dimensional look that will start many conversations. \n\n\n\nLove displaying your personal treasures as much\nas you love collecting them.
