Working outcomeA room-zone plan tied to real collection roles.
Separate play, display, and storage
The active set needs reach; the display object needs stable support and controlled light; the stored object needs suitable containment and retrieval.
Map capacity before furniture
Measure objects, walls, shelves, doors, table clearance, chair movement, and future growth.
- Keep direct sun off vulnerable objects.
- Do not overcrowd shelves.
- Label boxes outside the object contact area.
Rotate rather than expose everything
A small changing display can preserve visual calm and reduce light and dust exposure while letting the collection tell different stories.
Keep the boundary visible
