Collector's Clutter

Collections can quickly overrun a space, giving it a cluttered appearance. Collectors who may consider contacting a professional organizer are often worried that the organizer will want them to get rid of their collectibles. In actualality, the organizer can work with the collector to determine how to best store and display a collection in order to highlight it as part of a room's decor.

Many times, a collector will have their collections scattered all over a room or throughout the entire home. By grouping collectibles in one location within a room, it really places emphasis on the collection whille at the same time reducing the visual clutter around the room.

For very large collections, it is sometimes best to have a central grouping of the very best pieces which can then be supplemented with a few additional pieces from the remaining collection. Any additional pieces can be rotated in and out of the display as needed or on a seasonal basis, and safely stored away in an accesbile location.

Getting organized is not about getting rid of the things you cherish. Instead, organizing your space can allow you to focus on the antiques, collectibles, and items you enjoy the most!
