Decorating Tip: Create Levels

To display your cherished items more effectively, you might consider arranging them in levels. By using a stand, pedestal or base, you can elevate an item in a grouping to draw attention to it and create a more visually interesting tableau.


Lucite stands like the one pictured here are inexpensive. You can also use wooden or ceramic stands ranging from something quite simple to something very ornate. It all depends on the objects you’re displaying. You can even use books to elevate items. Not only does giving varied height to individual items in a grouping draw attention to the different pieces, it also creates a more harmonious presentation.
