6 Creative Carpentry Ideas to Flaunt Your Luxury Bag Collection

Give your bags the attention they deserve.

Alright, those luxury bags really made you work for them, so here’s what you shouldn’t be doing: stashing them away, never to be seen again. Like any designer item, your glamorous bags are meant to be on display, for everyone (including yourself) to admire, and to perhaps recount special memories associated with them.

(They might also be that dopamine-boosting sight you need to get through the daily grind… so you can add to your collection, of course.)

Regardless of where you stay – a small apartment with little space to spare, a landed home with enough room for a dedicated display, or anything in between – you can find ways to inject a thoughtful twist to your interior to show off your collection.

As for what those thoughtful twists could look like, keep scrolling!

1. Merge your display with your vanity

Considering that the vanity is where you start prepping for the day ahead, it just makes sense to have your bags stored there too. Not only can you admire them from the comfort of your bed, but you can also easily reach out for the one you need when you’re heading out.

Get lit with under-cabinet lighting like the owner of the condo below did to draw attention to the display (and for maximum visibility, of course).

2. Make your display one with your bedroom’s accent wall

Accent walls with fluted panelling are certainly stylish, but what if you want to double the style? In this bedroom in an HDB maisonette, the answer is to have a bag display.

The use of dark colours and veined marble in the feature wall instantly creates a luxurious vibe that’s enhanced by the bags on display.

Giving each bag its own shelf also ensures that the hardware of one bag doesn’t touch the other; this prevents them from leaving a mark if you don’t take the bags out often.

3. Make room in your built-in wardrobe

Built-ins are the go-to for added storage, and the same applies to storing luxury bags. Give them a corner in your built-in wardrobe, and you can choose to have them on closed or open shelves.

Caring for your bags is serious business, so if you store them on open shelves without partitions, remember to keep them upright and stuffed with bag shapers to maintain their shape, and in their dust bags to prevent the bags from collecting dust.

4. Or, turn your built-in wardrobe into a ‘boutique’

If you can indulge in a walk-in wardrobe, you know what to do with it: set up storage space for your luxury bags! The owners of this BTO flat dedicated a whole room to their walk-in wardrobe,
and it includes a section just for bags and accessories. Not to forget, pairing your outfit and your bag becomes that much easier with everything in one place.

This display is as boutique as it gets too – we know we’d feel thrilled stepping into this fabulous sight every day, ‘shopping’ for the perfect bag for the occasion!

When you’re deciding on the carpentry design, you can consider including slim drawers to store boxes and dust bags that you can easily retrieve if you need to pack up your bags.

On the other hand, a whole room for a walk-in wardrobe is pretty impractical in a smaller apartment where every square foot counts. But that doesn’t mean you should give up on the idea!

You can use part of the master bedroom, like in this BTO flat in Senja Valley, for a walk-in wardrobe and a bag display.

When you’re planning the layout, make sure your bags aren’t facing direct sunlight or in a spot that gets a lot of heat, since this is likely to damage them over time.

5. Use your display as a space divider

Now this is one interesting twist to having a space divider: thanks to its transparency that lets natural light through, this display cabinet for luxury bags doesn’t make space look too cramped and at the same time, acts as a partition between the sleeping area and the vanity.

The bonus: gazing at your exquisite collection while you’re prepping for the work day will give you that much-needed energy boost for the hustle!

6. Grab attention with a wall-mounted display

A swanky wall-mounted bag display in your room is all you need to make it the focal point. Choose a cool and elegant colour like mint green as the finish for boutique-esque vibes that’ll keep heads turning.

As for keeping your bags in good condition in tropical Singapore, here’s another tip: get a dehumidifier to counter any moisture damage to your bags, or simply keep the silica gel packets that your bags originally came with to absorb the moisture.
