There's a book all about this, it's called 'Arranging Things; A Rhetoric of Object Placement' by Leonard Koren. Except it can be difficult to get your hands on. I ordered it a year ago! Rawr.

Great visual examples. Also, thanks Hydrangea Girl for the reco! Methinks that giant playing card spells out my next diy project...

Yes sounds like a good book indeed Hydrangea Girl and Kourtney - oh if you do, please do share!

Gorgeous displays! Yeah, they taught us that in art school---they called it presentation! Things DO sing when displayed and presented in just the right way! And these are humming happy tunes and sweet lyrics!

Loove that light fixture, dreamiest desk too!
