The Easiest Way: Record Shelves Wall

One of the simplest and most popular ways to display your vinyl records is to hang shelves on the wall specifically designed for this purpose. These shelves usually come in a variety of sizes and styles so they can fit in any room. Plus, they’re easy to install and don’t require any special tools or knowledge. All you have to do is assemble the shelves, mount them on the wall, and fill them up with your favorite albums!

Get Creative With It!


If you want more than just a plain shelf for displaying your records, why not get creative? There are plenty of unique ideas out there that can help bring your walls (and collection) alive! For example, why not hang up individual frames around the wall? You could feature one record in each frame or create something like a collage featuring multiple albums. The possibilities are endless!


You could also use old crates or wooden boxes as makeshift shelves. This will give your walls a rustic feel while still showcasing all of your favorite albums. Not only will it look great but it will also be budget-friendly!

Choose Your Space Wisely

The first step in creating the perfect record wall is finding the right space. A lot of factors go into choosing a space, such as size and accessibility. You want to make sure that your chosen spot has enough room for all your records, while also being easily accessible so that you can add and remove records as needed. It should also be somewhere that gets plenty of natural light so that your records don’t fade over time.

Measure Your Wall

After you've chosen the right wall in your house, grab the measuring tape and start measuring the wall. Ge the feel of the space and how many records you'd like to fit.

 

Decide On Your Layout 

The next step is deciding on a layout for your record wall. Think about what type of pattern or design you want to create with your records—do you want it to be symmetrical or asymmetrical? Do you want it to be organized by genre, artist, or year? Or do you prefer a more random layout? Whatever you decide, remember that this is your space and there are no wrong answers here! Sketch the layout before starting to hang the records.

Show off Your Collection

Once you’ve decided on a layout, it’s time to show off your collection! Take out each record and arrange them according to your chosen design. This is also a great opportunity to start categorizing and organizing your collection if it isn’t already done so. If possible, try to hang up posters of some of your favorite albums as well—this will add an extra layer of personality and character to the overall look of the wall.
