6 Creative Ways to Display Your Game Pieces and Accessories at Home

Interactive Wall-Mounted Game Dioramas

There’s no board game wall storage solution better (and simpler) than wall-mounted dioramas. Transform your favorite game scenes into beautiful wall art; these scenes can be anything from unlocking were-skeletons in Small World to depicting Jakub Rozalski’s artwork. How about you make board game shadow boxes that replicate miniature versions of key game settings?! You may illuminate your display using LED lighting and highlight certain details for your viewers.

Convertible Game Table Inserts

You can also get a storage cabinet for games like Yamatai, a beautiful combo of function and display in the same package. Use modular table inserts to show off all your Campy Creatures tokens/cards beneath tempered glass or transparent resin surfaces. That’s how your table remains usable for daily tasks, and you can still show off your collection during game nights.

You can also create themed inserts to games like Ragemore; add interchangeable panels that can reflect different expansions or campaigns (imagine all 16 Dominion expansions showcased at your home, to your pals’ chagrin). If you are looking for inexpensive yet long-lasting display stands to show off your collection, we at BoxKing have amazing options. Use these stands to keep everything from your Cascadia to your Radlands to present to your fellow hobbyists.

Magnetic or Pegboard Wall Art Frames

You may also turn your game components into living artwork by mounting them on pegboards or perforated metal panels kept in stylish frames. Imagine a pegboard made entirely of your game pieces from Diplomacy or a collection of your Too Many Bones accessories. You can paint these surfaces in unique colors that match your game room’s decor. Use removable hooks or magnets to arrange your tokens, cards, miniatures, and others (works for titles like Wingspan).

What’s more, this setup will double as a gallery where you can rearrange or swap these pieces like an art exhibit. Imagine a fresh display of your Merchants of the Dark Road accessories or LOTR cards. Compact wall spaces will be perfect for this method. You can admire your decent collection. You can maximize your limited space, even after decorating with On Mars.

Repurposed Vintage Furniture

If you’ve bought Bitoku or Canvas, these titles are better displayed with vintage furniture pieces. Imagine antique desks or curio cabinets that have custom trays & dividers. Even all the tokens from Sid Meier's Civilization can be stored in an organizer for board games & accessories. So, they will add character to your gaming room. You can showcase miniatures in glass cabinets.

This method lets you blend old-world charm with a modern board game hobbyist’s needs. You can make a statement piece out of your Endless Winter or Brass: Birmingham accessories in your game room. However, board game organizers can be a little expensive; if you get those expensive IKEA KALLAX systems, they’ll cost you a pretty penny. But BoxKing sells better & spacier organizers at affordable rates, so you can display your collections cost-effectively.

AR-Enhanced Display Stations

AR-Enhanced Display Stations
Suppose you’re a Kwanchai Moriya fan and want to display his favorite artwork in your room. But your room has limited space. We suggest getting rid of your current board game storage and welcoming AR-enhanced display sets in its stead! AR is a great way to bring your tiny game pieces to life! We’re already using AR glasses to make games as realistic as possible.

You can now create dedicated display stations where placing physical pieces embedded with QR codes or NFC tags will trigger digital overlays. The result? Your favorite animations, story lore, statistics, and even alternate views will be delivered via a smartphone app. Some games like Mask of Anubis have already mastered the art of immersive storytelling by blending digital & physical worlds. Minimalist display bases also keep focus on your accessories without clutter.

Game Piece Terrariums (or Glass Globes)

If you want to satisfy your inner board game hobbyist by getting your hands on some of the best & most beautifully crafted titles, such as Etherfields or Oath, you can create artistic “living” game displays by arranging miniature game pieces inside glass terrariums or bell jars. Adding some natural elements like moss or small stones will make anyone imagine they’re in a magical and fantasy forest. You can use this method to showcase your Abyss cards while:

• Giving a 3D effect to your accessories
• Perfect for rotating setups or seasonal themes
• Protect your game pieces from dust and damage
