  Displaying Your Designer Toy Collection the Adult Way

  We have more than a few grown up toys in our house. Between LEGO and vinyl, we have, well… A LOT. Cue awesome tips on making your grown up house feel so much more fun!

  

  So I wrote this post for Apartment Therapy, but I just knew you all would appreciate the tips. Here are a few of my favorites:

  • Spread items throughout the house: It’s important not to cluster your entire collection in one room. It’s also an easy way to spread a theme throughout a home, whether it’s “I’m a gamer” or “I’m a geek.”

  • Curate some, blend others: There is no “perfect” way to display collectibles, but one thing that seems consistent between both Chris’ approach and Caitlin’s is the idea that curating some items together is fine, as long as you blend other items in with non-toys and collectibles. The key is to coalesce colors, shapes or styles.

  • Keep it clean: Any collection is going to look like crap if it’s dusty and dirty. Little objects like vinyl toys are especially tough to dust since they are so small, but think of them as small art. You wouldn’t let your art get nasty.

  Alright friends, how do you master the toy collection/grown up life at home quandary? Or do you fully embrace it? You can read the rest of the tips over at Apartment Therapy.
