How to Display Collectibles in Ways That Work With a Remodel

A collection gathered over many years, sometimes across generations, can be one of the most personal parts of a home. From pottery and glassware to hats and racing memorabilia, collections reflect the people who live there.

When you plan a remodel or addition, think about how to give your collection a place to shine without looking cluttered. Displayed well, collectibles bring you joy every day and make great conversation starters for guests.

Custom and Semi-Custom Cabinetry

Custom and semi-custom cabinets let you design storage around your specific needs to protect pieces that may be irreplaceable. Designs can work with existing cabinets or create something entirely new, balancing display space with the function of the room. Learn more in kitchen cabinet trends.

Glass-Front Cabinet Doors

Glass-front doors keep collections neatly stored but visible. Add cabinet lighting to put extra focus on the display, and your collectibles become part of the home's design rather than hidden away.

Stylish Reveals

Think outside the box by repurposing existing features.

• Turn an unused fireplace into a display for a pottery collection.
• Repurpose a phone niche, a built-in common in homes built before 1960, to hold figurines or small art.

Touches like these add character while letting your collection shine.

Built-In Furniture

Built-ins look like part of the house and create a cohesive design. They offer plenty of storage without making a room feel small or taking up much floor space. Knowing how you will use them helps us plan and build them right. Lighting can make built-ins even more striking. See accent lighting ideas.
