The 9 Best Collectibles for the Home

Home is where the heart is. We’ve all heard the expression. Usually the “home” in this popular phrase is meant to refer to a special friend or family member and their connection to the heart. But sometimes, “home” can simply mean home.

After all, home is the place that we live. The place where we spend time with those we love. The place visited by family and friends. Why shouldn’t this physical abode reflect our heart? Tell our story? Show off our style and passion? The short answer is, it can. And you don’t have to be a master in the principles of Feng Shui to pull it off either.

A simple way to bring vibrance, life and character into your home is with collectibles. Those things you enjoy acquiring, accumulating and collecting. Those things you really want people to notice. Those things that make you light up inside when you see them on display or when someone asks you about the story behind them.

Collectibles say quite a bit about who you are and what you are interested in. And your home is the perfect showcase for them.

We’ve compiled a list of The 9 Best Collectibles for the Home. We have also included wonderful examples of each to consider for your own home. Let’s have a look, shall we?
