Displaying my collection

I'm about to buy a house. I'm going to have an "Office" type room and id like to display my small but growing collection of Bond memorabilia. Including a hand full of posters. Should I cover the wall and show all my posters or choose just a few? I have a hand full of documents and cards to display as well, what would be the best way to display these, on a glass shelf perhaps?

    to be honest it's up to you isn't it? your house n all that.

    some people like the glass and chrome style, some think its too clinical and prefer wood and more traditional furniture.

    the only advice I can give it make sure your posters aren't in direct sunlight to avoid them fading, and also don't over crowd stuff, it all starts looking too mixed up and messy in my opinion. but like I said, who am I to tell you what to do in your own house? :))

    you could avoid all the confusion however and give the lot to me ;)

    Personally I like either a peaceful display room (like The Mantis has), or a totally crammed one (like Doug Redenius). As for posters: hanging them isn't going to improve their condition, not even framed. But hey, your house, your choice.

    Depends how many posters and how many walls...and how big the walls are...which films...what versions...

    Ultimately...whatever YOU think looks good - works ! -{

    I myself go for the selected pieces and not everything crammed on the wall. I think you'll get a much better effect.

    BTW as Minigeff mentioned, keep stuff out of direct sunlight OR check this site out, its worldwide.

    They sell special Gallery Plexiglas direct from the Manufacture, it filters 95% of all UV light and will stop your collection fading.

    Its cheaper than real UV Glass and I have just bought a load for my stuff.

    Good Luck
