Different wood forms have arrived to pose as materials for your showcases. There is redwood and beech wood to add to the traditional mahogany, oak and teak. For expensive look, sandalwood is always there. Red oak looks ravishing as a mantelpiece.

Have them paneled and shelved and yet leaving these open. Reserve these panels for your Chinaware vases, your trophies and important certificates. You can also create a safe in between to store important assets. Place it in the middle of your living room for general visitor overview.

Give your showcases a regular varnish. Wood is susceptible to scratches and losing its color quite quickly. With oak, you can leave it tattered as it still retains some majesty. With softwoods, you will need to be extra careful.

Don’t stuff your showcase with unnecessary things or things you should dispense with. This is to create a genuine first impression and you should not neutralize that.
