Idea to Steal: Pretty Piles

As someone with a penchant for magazines, it can often be hard to figure out what the heck to to do with all of them.

Now there’s a balance between pretty collections and being the next subject of an episode of hoarders, so you have to tread lightly. But if you strike the right balance, you’ve got styling gold. Stacks on the floor can add character and texture to a room. A good rule of thumb is to keep things monochromatic though. It keeps the look from being overly chaotic. (unrelated style note: obsessed with those blank canvases stacked one on top of another. Genius solution while you’re waiting to invest in art).

Piles on bookcases offer height and dimension.

Rarely seen displayed in a kitchen, magazine piles  add lovely personality and a bit of softness.

You can break your collection up, tucking your stacks here and there.

Even piles create a orderly geometric pattern – ideal for all you perfectionists. Also helps you make your collection look a little less overwhelming (key if your magazine habit is a point of contention!).

What do you think? Do you display your magazine archive or other collection?? How do you store them?
