Most things are best kept in an organized bin, closet, bag, whatever. But some items are so pretty, why hide them away? I have an unhealthy perfume obsession. I used to try to find creative ways to store them under my sink. I finally gave up, organized everything else in the bathroom (see "
Magazine Racks - Not Just for Magazines Anymore") and left the perfumes out as decoration. (I also have an unhealthy obsession with purchasing cologne for my husband so I put his out too). Perfume designers spend a lot of time and money on designing the damn bottles, might as well enjoy how they look.
Other things that would look nice on display (IF, and only IF, you have the space):
Dolls
Shoes
Earrings
Interesting dishes
etc...
The key is to only display what you have the space to display. I have a small house with very little storage - so a window sill of perfume bottles is about as "displayed" as things will get. Otherwise it will get all messed up and frustrate you. But why spend money on decorations/accents for your home, when you might already have some perfectly wonderful things you could use already in your closet?
