Displaying one of this and that in an impactful way isn’t easy. Rather than putting
one-offs on a sale table, coordinate similar
items into a statement display that will
garner full price for your leftovers.
By combining products in green, gold and
brown, these disparate objects are cohesively brought together to tell a story relating
to everyday life – the hall table. Jewellery
peeled off after walking in the door from a
long day at work is casually spilling over a
woven trunk stacked on top of another to
mirror the height on the opposite side of the
table. A collage of mix-and-match vessels
shows off the home owner’s favourite
pieces and the collection of books acts as a
decorative accent and an innovative riser for
the lamp. The soft bamboo throw set
against a textured stool along with the
elegant flowers and discarded high heels
add a fanciful, natural air to the scene.
This asymmetrical pyramid display is
anchored with a glamorous sunburst mirror,
encouraging the eye to travel from the lamp
across the table to the trunks, up to the
mirror and back down again.
