Whether large or small, it doesn’t matter—most of us collect something. And having these pieces arranged in a beautiful way, decorating a space, is not only a way to showcase the things collected, but also an important way to add personal style to a space. Here are a few ideas of inspiration for your personal collections, and examples of how use collections for display to add personality to any space.
