Vinyl records contain stories of artists who worked on the music and the cover art for the material. With the return of vinyl records, collectors are rushing to get their hands on limited edition pressings, unique covers or signed copies of their favorite artists.
Store your vinyl collection in an eye-catching display that you can view right at home. Showcase these creations to transform these musical treasures into visual art. If you’re a collector of classic or modern records, turn your vinyl collection into a gallery with these display tips.
Choose the perfect place for your collection
Choose a large open space on the wall to display your vinyl in your home. This could be on a living room wall, in a hallway or in your bedroom. Verify that the space has enough space for your current collection and future materials. Next, make sure to place the albums out of direct sunlight.
Determine how to view records
With your ever-expanding collection, you can display your vinyl records in a unique way using a variety of hanging options like frames, shelves or mesh panels.
Frames
There is ways to frame unique items like vinyl collections. The frames will protect records from dust and moisture while showcasing the beauty of the album cover or vinyl. Choose a modern metal frame or a rustic wooden frame to complement the aesthetic of your home.
Shelves
For a flexible and interchangeable collection, you can integrate floating shelves to display your records. Arrange the shelves directly on your walls or diagonally for a dynamic display. You can easily remove your records for an evening of listening, incorporate your latest additions, or change albums with the seasons.
Grid Panels
Add a contemporary touch to your home by transforming your vinyl collection into an art gallery with mesh panels. To add contrast to your walls, mesh panels are a simple display option that mounts directly to your wall. You can display your vinyl records with clips and hooks and easily adjust them if you need to rearrange your collection.
Add personal touches
Once you’ve hung up all your records, personalize the display by adding personal touches to the design. Add tags below the disc, including the artist, album name and year of release to establish a formal display. For a more creative design, add posters, concert tickets or personal notes to commemorate a concert experience or why an album is important to you.
Protect your vinyl collection
Displaying your documents also requires protecting your collection when it is hung in your home. Dust shelves and frames regularly. Consider using UV protective glass to prevent fading from indirect sunlight.
Celebrate your love of music and art by creating a beautiful display for your vinyl collection. Whether you choose to frame or shelve vinyl records, you can create a gallery that showcases your love for music in a new light.
