Much like prized figurines, miniature artwork looks fantastic inside lighted cabinets. Presenting them in enclosed display cases is a nice addition for the coffee table, drawer chest, or even a cube organizer. They won’t get dusty if they’re enclosed. If you prefer to hold the pieces in your hand, you may want to display them on an angled bookshelf or nightstand with your favorite family photos. The contrast between the art and photography is a delightful combination!

Compiling your mini paintings and drawings into a large frame with multiple picture slots is a good choice to save space. And of course, you can always hang them together alone on the wall or with conventionally sized art.

Minis on the Move

Because of their small size, they will look great inside the living quarters of apartments, RVs, and even yachts. They are also easy to move around no matter how many times you want to change the look of your walls. How about arranging them in a specific shape like a square or a triangle? Or, create your own mini-mosaic by setting them against each other like wall tiles. Display them however you like to express your style!
