Any wall is the perfect place for a display, whatever its size, shape or style.

In this inspirational guide, Geraldine James, veteran collector of all things beautiful, shows you ways to organise and display your treasured collections to celebrate their uniqueness and your creativity.

Collections of quirky items can illuminate a little corner, whereas a teenager’s bedroom will transform instantly when hoarded sports memorabilia makes the leap from the floor to the wall in a bold, clever arrangement. Look for unusual spaces and items: line up a series of themed prints above a picture rail, set heaps of floral china plates in grand style above the fireplace or simply add a mirror into a display to instantly create another in its image.

Chapter by chapter, discover how to arrange virtually anything from scratch and rearrange the collections you treasure to best effect. Begin a journey into colour, textures, and themes to create elegant displays that give a home character and charm. From a memory wall of sepia family photographs to witty collections of kitsch art, this clever guide shows how to create a look that will bring any space to life.

Creative Walls is your tool to make every wall a masterpiece of style and individuality.
