How about a display… wall?

March 19, 2012 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Tired of the same-old same-old in your consignment, thrift, resale shop?

Want to take it up a notch for spring, look more Anthropologie-ish?

How about creating a display wall? Kind of a 2D swing shop? This could be on a wall, or as the inside-facing side of a flat display window backdrop. It could even be, as seen in the following photos, a cubbyhole closet if you have one.

The photos below are of ideas for closets and office areas at home, so you’ll have to use your imagination. For example, in the first photo, think clear boxes of for-sale scarves instead of the zippered storage boxes…

Display wall for consignment, resale shops

A modular approach is a great way to accommodate the varying merchandise we receive. Short hang rods allow focus on a style or color, similar to 2-ways.

A home decor nook display for resale, thrift, consignment shops

This could be an office-decor nook for a furniture resale shop of course… or a collection of feminine boudoir accessories, garden pieces or bar gear.

Not up to constructing a wall? Well, then, how about equipping a chifferobe, cupboard, armoire for the task?
