How to Display Your Vinyl Collection in Style

By Compound Woodwork – Handmade in Cardiff, Wales

Vinyl records are more than music — they’re artwork, nostalgia, and part of the rhythm of your home. The right display turns a stack of sleeves into a design feature that reflects your taste and brings character to your space.

Whether you’re building a full-scale listening corner or just want to keep your favourite album close to the turntable, here are simple, design-led ways to showcase your collection beautifully.

1️⃣ Minimal Floating Shelves for Vinyl

A floating shelf offers a clean, gallery-style way to show off your record sleeves.
Our handmade Compound LP Shelf keeps your most-played vinyl secure using a discreet steel or brass bar, so each cover sits proudly on display.

Choose Oak for warmth, Ash for a lighter Scandinavian tone, or Walnut for rich depth. Floating shelves work best in pairs — one for “Now Playing” and another for your next rotation.

2️⃣ Vinyl Ledges and “Now Playing” Displays

For a more compact option, try a vinyl ledge.
Our Vinyl Ledge and Mini Now Playing Ledge are designed to sit beside your record player, holding the current sleeve upright so the artwork becomes part of your listening ritual.

Engraved options like NOW SPINNING or PLAYING NEXT make thoughtful gifts for vinyl lovers and create that record-shop-meets-home-studio vibe.

3️⃣ Vinyl Record Dividers — Style Meets Organisation

Keep your vinyl collection organised and visually striking with our Vinyl Record Dividers.
Handcrafted from sustainably sourced Oak or Ash, these dividers bring clean, minimalist design to your setup — perfect for collectors who take pride in both their sound and their space.

Each set is precision-cut with always-visible lettering, so you can easily flip through and find your favourites, even when your records are tightly packed. Whether you alphabetise your collection, they add order and a subtle touch of craftsmanship to your shelves.

Available in sets of 6, 13, or 26, these dividers are designed to complement our Compound LP Shelves, creating a cohesive, modern storage system that looks as good as it functions.

4️⃣ Design a Vinyl Corner That Feels Intentional

Combine your shelves, ledges, and artwork to create a small vinyl corner that reflects your aesthetic. Add warm lighting, a low cabinet for storage, and plants to soften the look.
Keep your turntable at waist height and let your favourite sleeves rotate often — it keeps the setup dynamic and lived-in.

5️⃣ Why Solid Wood Makes a Difference

Each Compound Woodwork shelf is made from sustainably sourced hardwood and finished by hand in Cardiff, Wales.

Unlike MDF or flat-pack furniture, solid wood shelves age beautifully — gaining character rather than wearing out.
