What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Between Naps on the Porch to Vignettes: Tips for Displaying the Things You Love

Have fun when creating lovely little vignettes. Pull out your beautiful collections. Do you collect old cameras or vintage clocks? Notice the wonderful old cameras featured here and how books are used to give height. The clock becomes a focal point contrasting against the dark color of the other items in the vignette.

added by Mari Richards to On Trend: Vintage Camera Decor

How should you display your new finds? Showcase a small collection of vintage objects together, allowing the collection to grow naturally as you add cameras or other objects, like rustic birdcages. Whether they function or not, retro memorabilia items add a great sense of nostalgia to your room.

Again, these rooms show how a very dark piece with dark tabletop accessories can look quite at home in rooms which are primarily white and/or light-colored. Books and cloches are always nice accents; old cameras are nice accents too.
