Showcase What Drives You—Without Sacrificing Style or Focus
In an era where work-from-home has become the norm, your home office is more than just a place to get things done. It’s a space to think, create, and reflect who you are. For collectors, sports fans, veterans, and enthusiasts of all kinds, incorporating your personal passions into your workspace isn’t a distraction—it’s an inspiration.
At Better Display Cases, we believe that memorabilia shouldn’t be hidden away in storage. With our high-quality acrylic display cases, you can build a workspace that not only looks professional but also celebrates the things that matter most to you—while keeping them safe, dust-free, and beautifully presented.
Why Personalizing Your Office Matters
Studies show that personalized workspaces can boost motivation, productivity, and overall job satisfaction. But personalization doesn’t mean clutter. The goal is to thoughtfully integrate meaningful items—whether it's a signed football, a military medal, or a pair of championship cleats—into your office in a way that adds energy, not distraction.
Here’s how to do it right using our range of acrylic display cases.
Step 1: Choose Your Passion Pieces
What inspires you? What deserves a spotlight while you work? Some popular display-worthy items include:
- Autographed sports memorabilia (footballs, basketballs, helmets)
- Challenge coins and medals
- Signed or game-worn cleats
- Collectible items or limited-edition memorabilia
- Trophies, mini helmets, or race bibs
Your home office should feel like your space. Select 3–5 core pieces that represent your achievements, interests, or experiences.
Step 2: Match the Display Case to the Item
A mismatched case can make even the most valuable collectible look out of place. That’s why we offer purpose-built acrylic display cases for specific items, with various base styles to match your decor.
🔧 Display Case Examples:
- Football Display Case with Mirror or Turf Base: Great for shelves or behind-the-desk display
- Track Shoe Display Case: Perfect for showcasing a grail sneaker or signed cleat
- Military Challenge Coin Holder: Ideal for credenzas or desktop inspiration
- Mini Helmet Display Case: Clean, compact, and perfect for a tight bookshelf or ledge
Pro Tip: Mirror backs offer a powerful visual without requiring a full 360° walkaround space.
Step 3: Layout That Combines Form & Function
Think gallery wall meets command center. Here are three smart layout strategies to blend productivity with personality:
- 🖼 Floating Shelf Display: Install a few floating shelves above or beside your desk to hold your acrylic cases. Keep them evenly spaced, and stick to 1–2 cases per shelf for a minimalist look.
- 🪑 Credenza or Side Table Setup: Use a low cabinet or desk return to showcase bulkier items like helmets, shoes, or multi-item collections. This layout keeps the display nearby without crowding your main workspace.
- 🧱 Wall Grid (Challenge Coin or Mini Cases): Use modular display cases to create a geometric grid layout on your wall. This works beautifully with challenge coin cases, baseball display cubes, and mini helmet displays. Pair the layout with framed photos, certificates, or your favorite quote for extra context.
Step 4: Label and Light It
- Add custom nameplates to each case to note the player, team, date, or memory connected to the item.
- Use soft, indirect lighting (like LED strips under shelves) to make your collection pop without adding glare or heat.
- Avoid direct sunlight to preserve autographs or delicate materials.
🎯 Need nameplates? We offer engraved nameplate options to fit any case.
