Are you currently collecting anything? If not, what would you like to collect and how would you display your collections? It could be anything from paintings to insects or plates and they can all be gathered in one awesome piece of wall art if you just know how to display them.Perhaps these examples can give you some ideas.

Something as usual as rusted pulleys can serve as interesting wall art for an area such as the bedroom. Here they are displayed above the bed and they add a nice touch to the guest room.

If you’re the type that likes curiosities and enjoy searching for them in antique shops, then gather a few of them and make a nice display for the bedroom wall. Not all the objects need to be related.

This lovely seating ara features a wall covered with red oil lanterns. It’s not something you see very often but, in this context, they add color to the room and also good good up there.{found on remodelista}.

Here’s a collection of globes displayed on a living room mantel. That one tall globe makes the whole collection work. The differences in height and size add interest to the collection and the way it’s presented.

This is an example of basket wall art. Notice the different sizes, colors and patterns and how they all work together to form an interesting focal point for this Moroccan living room.

A collection of plates doesn’t necessarily have to look old or outdated if you know how to display it. For example, cover an entire wall of the dining room with plated, alternate shapes, sizes and colors and you can even cut out a few plates for a sharp look.

Mirrors are an interesting choice if you ever decide to start a collection. Choose different types, shapes and sizes like these ones which have ornate frames. Include a large mirror for contrast. The collection will look interesting and it will also make the room seem bigger.

How about a clock collection? There are all sorts of designs to choose from but antique clocks are very interesting. Display them on an exposed brick wall to emphasize their age.

Some people find tea pots very cute and lovely and they decide to collect them. An interesting way of displaying them all is on open shelves. Mix them up and don’t cluster together pots with the same color or shape.

This is a very interesting collection indeed. These little bottles all contain sand from beaches the owner visited over the years. It’s a collection with sentimental and personal meaning and it has a rather mysterious look.

Have a collection of old records and no idea how to display them in a cool way? How about creating some unique wall art? A great idea for the media room or the living room in general.

These colorful vintage bottles were all displayed just underneath the ceiling and are now a part of the dining room’s décor. They take up zero floor space and look great up there.

An avid sports fan would surely have a few memorabilia he’ll want to display where everyone can see them. So how about creating display cases for each individual item like these trophy shelves with built-in lighting?

In the case of the kitchen, there’s not much room for purely decorative objects so we have a great idea: display items you actually use like cutting boards for example.

Wondering what this is? It’s a piece of wall art and also a collection of measuring sticks displayed in this simple frame. A very interesting and ingenious idea.

A collection of masks could look really cool in the living room. For a more dramatic effect, display the masks on a dark-colored wall. This shade of grey is very beautiful.

A guitar collection is an awesome thing to display in any room of the house. Here, they were displayed on this very tall wall in the family room, just above the TV area.
