Display Ideas for Model Yachts

I love my new model yacht (bought here), and all the great display ideas that I've found.

model yachts hung on wall
The unexpected! Phoebe Howard devoted the entire entry wall of this Sea Captain Home to model yachts.

And what a spectacular entry this makes.

Found the perfect nook!

And of course on a fire place mantel..., that's the place where I would display my model yacht if there was a fireplace in my living room. Instead there is a TV cabinet...

Oh, I was just telling my husband the other day about how I wanted to put one of those on top of our tv armoire. Great minds think alike! :) It looks beautiful. Beth.

I love the idea of the ships on the ledges - that's wonderful! What a great addition to a boring flat hallway! Now I know what to do with mine :) GREAT blog - glad I've found it!

Great visions for all kinds of possiblities. Had been thinking I really wanted to use one as a room divider (on top of a table) to visually break up a big room without loosing the light.

How do you mount the sail boat on the wall like the third image? We have one, and it's always "floating" around from place to place. I've never been happy with it, but this photo makes it look so modern.

Interesting to hear that your sailboat is "floating", I've never tried to hang mine, but there must be a way to make it stable and solid. I do love the look of it!
