Do you like the way they have displayed the collection of boxes?

Oh! I love it!

The dark boxes pop against the white walls and shelves.

My great aunt had a collection (much smaller than this) of wooden small boxes that she displayed on what she used as a coffee table (an 1800's wooden trunk going back about 4 generations in our family, that was brought over the mountains from the east in a covered wagon....so the story goes), and I was always fascinated with them (and the trunk!).

I now have one of those boxes, and the trunk in my living room!

Yes I actually do, and it looks very good in that room!

I like the boxes, a lot, I have a small (tiny compared to what is shown here) collection of wooden boxes, none are valuable but interesting looking. I do think they need to maybe mix some other items in with their display, just to break it up somewhat.

Yay for the box collection. Not my style but very organized looking.

It works for that space.

@lolakimono No....in a heartbeat those shelves would be filled with books. I do love how the boxes reflect the colors in the sofa....but I would never use them as a wall decor.

I like the boxes, but there definitely needs to be other things mixed in with them.

Yes I like this look. A nice collection but also contained to a space to be seen as a whole.

Yes, but it’s sort of a waste of space. One could have great books there instead.👧

Very nice! Considering they obviously have lots of boxes to display, so I understand their utilizing all availble shelves. As others have said, it would please my eyes even more if they could have mixed it up a bit with books, maybe a few small framed photos, antique clock, rose bud vase, etc.

I'd love to have all those shelves to work with! 😍

I think it's a clever idea, but, I think there's too many boxes. Needs a better blend of items.

Love it....simple, interesting & shows the collection off. You can clearly see what attracted the collector to each box... it's form, color & hardware. I admire their taste.

I think it would be a big pain to dust................

Yes, the boxes are displayed well on the shelves. No, I do not like the room.

Point well made about mixing some other things in on the shelves.

But I have an issue with books displayed promently. If they have beautiful old covers, and many volumes that match, I like them in a prominent place.

Today's books, with colorful and bright covers, or pictures on the covers and spines, I just don't like the look of the mix matched mess it looks like to me.

This is beautiful
