Honestly, this has been my new favorite way to incorporate various types of decor into my home while also bringing a little magic. If you can’t get enough of crystals, you’re in luck. I think I’m obsessed! Crystals are so fun to display around the house – on the coffee table, bookshelves, mantel, in the kitchen, and the list goes on! Crystals have always been associated with the mystical or supernatural. How you display crystal is truly a matter of personal preference. There’s no “wrong” way to do it. A lot depends on the overall look and feel you strive for in your home as well as the size and color of your stones. Here are my favorite seven ways to display crystals in your home!
Crystal Light
We all have spaces in our homes that could benefit from a bit more light! This Himalayan salt crystal lamp crystal display functions sort of as a night light would but looks way cooler! Plus, when it’s turned off, it still doubles as eye-catching decor. It’s most definitely a win-win!
Pedestals for Large Pieces
If you have a large piece of crystal like an amethyst geode, let’s say six inches in diameter or larger, consider placing it on a pedestal and let it command the attention of the space. Of course, you want to be sure you have the space in your home to do it. This three-tier pedestal can help a clear, light-colored, or even a deep vibrant purple or pink-colored crystal stand out. If the crystal is rare or valuable, or you simply want to keep it protected, opt for a pedestal with an enclosed cover on top.
Hang Them Up
Small crystal prisms can be found on necklaces and other jewelry. But they can also be seen hanging in homes. Some people hang them near windows to enjoy how they throw light rainbows into the room. You only need some inexpensive fishing line to hang crystal prisms. Here is also a beautiful Tree of Life Crystal Hanging! If you believe in the healing, calming, or energy-shifting power of certain crystals, hanging them is the way to go!
Display Boxes
This approach applies to larger crystals. Try the display box on shelves with other items of varying sizes. You’ll want to make sure the shelves are also large enough to accommodate the box so that the crystal display doesn’t look too bulky. You can put it in the center and have smaller stones or plants on either side of it to taper the overall visual from large in the middle to small items at the ends of the shelf.
Standing Displays
If you have a collection of crystals in a variety of sizes, show them off in a lit floor standing display case with a mirrored back. Crystals look great with a mirror behind or underneath them to give a 360-view of the stone without having to walk around the display!
Bowls
If you have a bag or handful of small crystals, store them in a bowl to show off their color. You want the bowl to be a color that allows the crystal’s color to shine. A bronze or gold metal bowl is a good contrast to white crystals, but more colorful crystals like a brilliant turquoise or purple stone could work too!
With Everyday Items
Crystals contrast beautifully with a number of everyday items. People will put light-colored ones on top of a stack of books or, as in the photo, on top of a deck of tarot cards. Maybe your calming amethysts would look great in a small bowl? Or some calming blue quartz would be the perfect contrast piece to your coffee table if held in a tall, thin vase? Look around for everyday items that can work as bases for your smaller crystals, especially if your home aesthetic is casual or rustic. Sometimes simply placing the stone on a coaster, on top of a jewelry box, or inside a glass jar with a lid works just as well!
With Natural Things
Crystals live harmoniously with other natural pieces. A seashell, distinctive stone, wood piece, and even a candle can contribute to the crystal’s mystique and allure. With crystals, you don’t always need to have a prominent display. Sometimes, simply being among other natural pieces allows them to shine or blend in as needed!

Conclusion
There really are no limits to the way you can display crystals in your home. Start by finding the place in your home the crystal piece most resonates with! You might also consider how lighting impacts the crystal’s appearance and the potential for reflections into the space. I love making my own display projects so I hope this was helpful! No matter which crystal resonates with you, there’s certainly a place for it in your home!
