Art of Display

15th January 2025

Reflect the unique style of your home by combining treasured objects with unusual artefacts, and keep things fresh with seasonal flourishes. The key to styling an authentic display of objects is to express your individuality and showcase items with a story to tell.

Discovering your unique style

Before you start, spend a little time considering what you want your display to say about your style. Are you a lover of the pared back and muted, do you prefer the bold and adventurous, or are you after a look that is characterful and quirky? Whether you're a worldly wanderer endlessly collecting curios as you go, or an artisan aficionado trawling weekend markets with a distinct style in mind, there's an art to showcasing your well-chosen pieces with effortless elegance.

At nkuku we love bringing you unique handcrafted pieces with a story to tell, so read on for inspiration of how to create more characterful displays simply by mixing old with new, natural with handcrafted, and precious objet d’art with personal pieces. By incorporating items collated from years of travels with fresh new pieces, you can start to bring a one-of-a-kind feel to your interiors.

Adding natural elegance

Last but not least, finish your display with a few natural seasonal flourishes displayed in a distinctive vase or bowl. Forage for fallen foliage on walks, pick stems in the garden or select a few choice plants to add interest. Simple greenery, such as eucalyptus or succulents, bring instant freshness, while the neutral shades and elegant silhouettes of poppy heads, fennel, or ornamental grasses create a sense of calm.
