Vinyl records hold stories of artists who worked on the music and the cover art of the material. With the comeback of vinyl records, collectors race to get their hands on limited-edition pressings, unique cover art, or signed copies from their favorite artists.
Store your vinyl collection in an eye-catching exhibit you can admire right at home. Showcase these designs 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 a large, open space on the wall for your vinyl display in your home. This could be on a living room wall, in a hallway, or in your bedroom. Check that the space has enough room for your current collection and future records. Then, make sure to face the albums away from direct sunlight.
With your ever-expanding collection, you can uniquely display your vinyl records using a variety of hanging options like frames, shelves, or grid panels.
There are ways to frame unique items like vinyl collections. The frames will preserve the records from dust and moisture while featuring the beauty of the album art or vinyl. Choose a metallic modern frame or a rustic wooden frame to complement the aesthetics of your home.
For a flexible, interchangeable collection, you can incorporate floating shelves to display your records. Arrange the shelves straight across your walls or at a diagonal for a dynamic display. You can easily remove your records for a listening party, incorporate your latest additions, or switch the albums with the seasons.
Add a contemporary touch to your home when you turn your vinyl collection into an art gallery with grid panels. To add contrast to your walls, grid panels are an easy 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.
Once you hang up all your records, customize the display by adding personal touches to the design. Add tags beneath the record, including the artist, album name, and its release year to establish a formal display. For a more creative design, add posters, concert tickets, or personal notes to memorialize a concert experience or why an album is important to you.
Displaying your records also requires you to protect your collection as it hangs up in your home. Regularly dust the shelves and frames. Consider using UV-protective glass to prevent fading from indirect sunlight.
Celebrate your love for music and art by creating a beautiful display for your vinyl collection. Whether you choose to frame or place the vinyl records on shelves, you can create a gallery that highlights your love for music in a new light.
