Country Living Collection Style

It’s a favorite with readers: Every month, Country Living features homes where imaginative owners showcase their collections in eye-opening ways. Here are the very best of those ideas, presented in enticing photographs that display such charming items as a flock of miniature sheep gathered in a cabinet, elegant McCoy vases assembled on a sideboard, and pink lusterware plates hung en masse on the wall. In addition to being beautiful, these images demonstrate basic design principles for arranging pieces, editing a collection, selecting lighting, building custom shelves, and more. No matter whether the beloved items consist of pottery, menus, or birdhouses, this is the only guide a collector needs to create dazzling displays everywhere. “…provides a way for collectors to artfully display, enjoy, and care for their collections.”—Library Journal.
