If you participated in sports back in school, do you know the excitement and motivation associated with taking part in an activity for a medal or group trophy?
It becomes a highlight of the wins you have had in life. When you win your first trophy, you develop a hunger that pushes you to chase victory. Trophies are not just an award; they show the hard work, dedication, and sacrifice you have made to achieve something.
Maybe the extra hours you put in at work finally paid off and you received the employee of the month award. Whatever award you have won, you need to show it off for compliments and even more motivation.
But how do you do this without people thinking of you as a show-off? Here are some great ideas to display your beautiful earrings.
1. Floating Shelves
If you have kids in your home, you know how messy it can be. The last thing you want is to come home to find pieces of your most recent trophy scattered on the floor.
You can easily keep your trophies out of reach while still showing them to your guests by using floating shelves. They don’t take up too much space and stick out to anyone walking into the room.
They are great for displaying trophies by stage of life, achievement, or sport, and having them fit in perfectly thanks to the unified color of the shelves themselves. The biggest reason most people opt for floating shelves is their low cost and widespread availability. They also come in different sizes and shapes so you can find one ideal for your interior.
2. Pedestals
You have definitely heard of the phrase “put on a pedestal.” You don’t have to put someone on a pedestal but your trophies deserve nothing less. This makes it easy for your friends and family to examine every detail of your trophy by looking over the case.
Most people use pedestals to display jewelry but they are also a great option for displaying trophies and plaques. When you see custom trophies on Awards or other sites, you get the idea of showing off your trophies on pedestals. You can take it a notch higher by using a white jewelry display case to stand out and make every head turn to take a look.
3. Trophy Case
This is the most obvious option for anyone who wants to display their prized trophy. You don’t have to break the bank to find the perfect trophy case. You can easily transform an old china cabinet into a beautiful trophy case.
You can also find multipurpose trophy cases that offer room to display your awards while providing additional storage space. If you want to save space in your interior, you can opt for a tower trophy display.
4. Bookcase
Nothing can show off your achievements better than a bookcase filled with trophies and awards. A bookcase allows you to sort your trophies by bookshelf and organize them as you like.
If you have a family, you can dedicate a whole section to them so they can also show off their achievements. It also shows them how much you care and gives you more to brag about to your guests. Bookcases fit anywhere in your interior so you can hardly go wrong with them.
5. Wall-Mounted Units
If you find the idea of using floating shelves appealing but want something more luxurious, a wall-mounted unit is what you need. They are perfect if you want a lockable display to keep your trophies safe and away from dust.
For an even more modern look, you can go for an all-glass unit with sliding doors. A timeless cherry-finished wall mount with a mirrored back is great for a classic aesthetic. Either way, it will impress your guests with the individualistic trophies on display and the design.
6. Cube Display
Even if you have won tens of awards, there is always one that you are most proud of. Maybe you don’t like bragging about trophies but you want to show this specific one to everyone.
Displaying it in a beautiful museum-like cube display case is a great way to do this. There is no problem showing off your achievement especially if it is something you put a lot of time and resources into. A cube display ensures that your award does not accumulate dust and dirt and protects it from any accidents.
7. Tower Cabinet
Tower cabinets take advantage of your wall’s height to maximize storage capacity. It adds a touch of luxury to any interior. You can take things to the next level by finding one with LED backlights to highlight the shine and glow of your trophy.
A tower cabinet with a mirrored back ensures your guests get to see every angle of your trophies. You want your trophies to be noticeable to anyone walking into your room and a corner display can guarantee this.
There are different ways to show your awards and trophies to the world. You can find options varying in terms of quality, appearance, and design. Take advantage of these creative ideas to show off your honors at home or your office so everyone can appreciate your brilliance.
