Decorative Collecting is the practice of acquiring antiques and works of art primarily for their visual appeal, craftsmanship and ability to enhance an interior, rather than for investment or historical significance alone. Decorative collectors often combine furniture, lighting, mirrors, ceramics, sculpture and artwork from different periods to create unique and characterful spaces. This approach has become increasingly popular among interior designers and homeowners seeking timeless interiors. *Related Terms*\ Collector, Decorative Antiques, Interior Design, Period Interiors, Styling, Works of Art.
