How Can You Place Your Horror Collection on Display?
By this time, you’ve likely accumulated a nest egg worth of devilish horror collectibles, however, the real question is how can they be arranged so that you’re able to fit bigger and better pieces of memorabilia in the future. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with amassing an impressive display of cursed horror keepsakes, but without a plan to organize them, your prized possessions will quickly go from collectibles to clutter. Below are some suggested ways that you can assemble your goodies for all ghouls to see.
Frame your keepsakes
Some of your horror collectibles are likely more delicate and could become easily damaged if they got into the wrong hands. So, if you possess some boo-tiful, vintage accessories, it might be worth framing them to safeguard their graceful aging process. That being said, items such as horror movie Funko POPS! won’t be able to properly fit behind plated glass, so what type of keepsakes are we referencing? Depending on if you choose to go with a standard frame or shadow box, you’ll be able to immortalize items such as books, art prints, patches, stickers, pens, signs, and enamel pins. The best part is that since many of the above items are small, making them easy to displace, you’ll rest assured knowing that simply popping them into a frame will put your worry at ease and allow you to enjoy the sights and security of this protected display option!
Cluster up a bookshelf
Who wants to be the collector who chillingly spaces out each item on the display shelf, when a bloodcurdling cluster is diabolically more appealing? Let’s get things straight, a cluster does not necessarily equate to clutter and if the items are beautifully curated, the collection will look hair-raisingly awesome! Just be sure to group similar items to give your display some gruesome dimensions.
Unify your collectibles by their colors
While aligning horror collectibles based on genre or franchise is the moonlit way to categorize your relics, wouldn’t consolidating your items based on their color be an intriguing way to create an ornamental display? Whether you own horror action figures, little busts or horror movie Funko POPS!, check out just how impressive your collection can look when it’s sorted by the colors, patterns or textures within the products.
Spread out your memorabilia around your home
The expression goes, “home is where the heart is”, which means that when you’re trying to sort out how to display your horror collection, why not simply have every nook and cranny of your crypt tastefully decorated with your horror memorabilia? After all, these keepsakes are the ultimate reflection of your personality. Hang a nifty beach towel on the wall to create a ghoulish tapestry effect, place some pillows on all the seating areas of your living space, and even keep delightful horror soaps resembling all your favorite villains near both bathroom and kitchen sinks. There’s no need to tame down your love of horror.
