Last Sunday, we visited Amanda's home. On our arrival, she seemed busy discussing something with a carpenter. After finishing her talk, she moved to us and greeted my entire family. She described the reason to summon a carpenter to her home.
She has a teen scholar in her study and champion in various sports. The teen now strives to display her collection of multiple trophies and awards for a point of pride. At same the time, Amanda's husband was looking for a space to showcase his professional achievements in the form of trophies and awards.
My young daughter is doing her diploma in interior design. So, she was taking a deep interest in our discussions. Now, she stollen the rein of the conversation and placed simple yet applicable solutions to display trophies and awards in Amanda's home and some in the office of her husband.
Let me summarized all in comprehensive ways so you can get benefit from it within your contexts.
One – Standard or Customized Trophy Case or Wall Shelf
Standard wall-mounted trophy cases or shelves are available in the market. Classic wall shelves are mostly made of locally available natural woods. So, they remain pocket-friendly. Metal sheets and synthetic fabrics also are trendy today. They can give you a bit lighter weighted option for wall mounting.
To display trophies effectively, you have to place trophy or award objects on eye level. Usually, anything around 140cm or 57 inches from the floor-level is considering eye-level sight and capable of grabbing immediate attention of onlookers, as well as gives comfort to eyes.
It means you need to fix your trophy case or wall shelf for awards & trophies above 140cm from the floor. You can keep dimensions (length x width x depth) of trophy case according to sizes and numbers of trophies or awards you have. Glass slabs are the best material to create vertical partitions to place trophies or medals in rows. Many use wooden logs or plywood slabs for segmentations in the trophy case.
You can cover the wall-mounted trophy shelf with transparent glasses. Fix sides with thicker glasses and use thin slides at the front. You can add lighting in the trophy case to décor it further and can make shown useful even during the night time or within dark corners of your building.
The followings are the best bet to showcase in your trophy case.
Two – Standard or Customized Glass Door Cabinet
Standard glass door cabinets are also available for trophy or award display. Visit your local stores and find the best new or antique piece in the right conditions to use as the trophy cabinet. Standard glass door cabinets have vertical wooden or glass partition at standard heights for different kinds of trophies or awards.
Suppose you have unusual sizes of trophies or awards. In that case, you can hire a carpenter to create a custom glass door cabinet for your trophy display. Some are using open cabinets, without any door, but those can allow dust and dirt to settle on trophies and demand frequent cleaning. With enclosed cabinets, you can avoid dusting and damages by children or accidental touches.
The following trophies from Olympia, Sydney, Australia are a suitable candidate to depict in your glass door cabinet.
