While out shopping today at Antiques on the Farmington (located in Collinsville, CT) I came across several very innovative dealers who managed to use every inch of what they got!



I was delighted to find some really great solutions to the space dilemma. here are some ideas you might find helpful.

Tips For Antique Dealers Who Want More Display Space in Their Booths or Shops


1. Put lattice across a window and gain hanging space.

2. Hang items from the ceiling directly or create a bar to hang items from.

3. Put a partial wall of lattice between two booths.

4. Use old doors to create a wall in your booth.

5. Cover an existing wall with lattice.

6. Add glass shelves in front of a window to display bottles or glassware.
